Do you want professional feedback on your novel but aren’t quite ready for a full edit?

With a manuscript evaluation, you’ll receive a thorough analysis of your story, just like you would with a developmental edit. It includes an editorial letter with big-picture feedback but not the in-line comments on the manuscript. This is perfect for new writers whose stories might need multiple rounds of edits, experienced writers who want a professional set of eyes before publishing, or anyone looking for developmental feedback at a more affordable rate with a faster turnaround time.

You’ll receive feedback on topics such as:

  • Plot

  • Character Development

  • Pacing

  • Setting and World-building

  • Dialogue

  • Conflict and Motivation

  • Magic Systems and Lore (if applicable)

  • Show vs Tell

  • Head Hopping

  • Point of View

  • Stakes

Investment: $500 for manuscripts under 80,000 words; $600 for manuscripts between 80,001 to 100,000 words. For longer manuscripts, please reach out for a custom quote.

Turnaround time: Can vary between 2 to 4 weeks.
