Manuscript Feedback

Learn what’s working in your manuscript, what’s not, and clear next steps to strengthen it.

I offer three types of manuscript feedback:

  • The Manuscript Audit: A low-cost, light-touch assessment of your manuscript. Discover the top 2-3 things that would improve your manuscript, with a relatively short turnaround.

  • The Manuscript Evaluation: A mid-cost, full assessment of your manuscript. Discover what’s working, what’s not, and what order to implement. Includes in-line comments on the first three chapters.

  • The Developmental Edit: A higher-cost, in-depth assessment of your manuscript. Everything you get with a manuscript evaluation, plus in-line feedback on the whole thing.

I suggest starting with a Manuscript Audit. It’s the best way to get fast feedback on the first things you need to address. And it’s affordable enough that you can get several rounds of feedback for the cost of one Manuscript Evaluation or Developmental Edit.
