Manuscript Evaluation

Most writers secure a paid editor too soon. Editing is a time-consuming and expensive service, so why spend that money only to spend more and more as your book undergoes round after round? You may be better off getting an evaluation that tells you what you, as the writer, can do before you invest thousands on editing services.

If you have a completed manuscript but aren’t quite sure where it stands in regards to editing needs, a manuscript evaluation will help! All you need to do is provide me with an overview of the story, your goals for the book, and a few questions you have about the writing process. 

During an evaluation I will read the manuscript and provide written feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the work. I will also provide guidance about  structure and organization, plot and story, scene development, character, theme, and more.

After the evaluation, you will have a much clearer idea about the readiness of the manuscript for editing and/or publication. From there, you will be able to make a confident decision about how you want to move forward. Maybe you need a developmental edit. Or maybe you are ready for a line edit.

Wouldn’t you feel more secure having an experienced editor’s feedback? A manuscript evaluation is a great place to start.
