One of my fiction editing services
What it is
A fiction manuscript assessment includes one round of reading, during which I take careful notes on all the big-picture elements that are helping or hindering your work. That includes attention to character, plot, worldbuilding, narrative flow, pacing, cohesion, voice, and overall satisfaction as a reader. I also consider your specific genre conventions, chosen readership, and your goals for the text, to see if you are on track to successfully meet them.
When finished with the read, I will draft an editorial report detailing all my findings and revision suggestions. When appropriate, I also provide a proposed new outline for the text.
When it’s helpful
I most often provide this service to authors who are ready to query for agents or dive into self-publishing and are looking for one last set of professional eyes on their text. However, the service can also be helpful if you are looking for developmental advice on a budget.
How much it costs
$100 + $.015/wd after 5k words
