Manuscript Evaluation

You have a completed manuscript, but can’t shake the feeling that it’s not quite good enough.

Maybe you’re stuck in an endless revision cycle, and can no longer tell whether you’re making things better or worse. Or you’ve gotten conflicting feedback from critique partners or beta readers, and aren’t sure who to trust. Now that you’ve taken your story as far as you can, and you need professional feedback to make it shine.

A Manuscript Evaluation tells you what’s working, what isn’t and provides detailed next steps to address development areas. Here’s how it works:

I read your manuscript and write an editorial letter with clear instructions on how to fix story issues — and the order in which to address this feedback. I also make sure you know what you got right, so you don’t accidentally take out the good stuff. You also get in-line developmental feedback on your first 2-3 chapters (up to 30 pages).

You’ll have a chance to review my feedback, and then we’ll get on a 60-minute Zoom call to discuss. The call will be recorded, and is yours to keep. You walk away knowing exactly what revision steps to take next.

Starting at $1,095 for up to 60,000 words (+0.014 per additional word).

Or, start with a Single 1:1 Coaching Session to get a feel for book coaching, and make sure I’m the right fit for your novel. The cost of the session is $97, but if we decide to move forward with the Manuscript Evaluation, I’ll credit back the full cost of the initial session.
