Manuscript Evaluation 

Who is it for?

This is a service for writers who have completed a first draft of their nonfiction book (this includes memoir) and want an assessment of their work before embarking on revisions.


Do you have a rough draft but aren't sure if it's any good and how to proceed to polish it?

 

I will conduct a thorough developmental edit of your manuscript, highlight gaps and issues I may encounter and suggest ways to address them.

 

You'll gain clarity about the way forward and how to take your existing work to the next level. 

How much does it cost? 

I charge $0.04 per word. The first 50% is payable before the manuscript evaluation; the remaining 50% is paid after I return the manuscript with my feedback and an evaluation letter. 

What you get

  • A thorough review of your manuscript that assesses the overall story arc as well as issues in the chapters

  • In-line comments on the first and last chapters of the book (up to 50 pages)

  • An extensive editorial letter that highlights potential issues and suggest ways to fix them

  • A one-hour coaching call.
