Manuscript Evaluation
Finishing a manuscript is a huge accomplishment. Now, let’s make it awesome.
Many people dream of writing a book. Few actually start. Even fewer finish and get to write those most-satisfying words, ‘The end’. You’re already among the elite. You came up with an amazing, one-of-a-kind idea, you wrote the whole thing from beginning to end, you’ve taken a big breath, and you’ve danced around your house.
Revision is what’s next and it’s where you make the magic happen. But, where to start? This is not the time to dive into the line edits and pick the exact right words, however tempting. Now is the time to evaluate whether you’ve delivered on your idea, your character’s journey, and other big structural considerations that make or break a book.
This Manuscript Evaluation package gets expert eyes on your manuscript, a perspective that includes story craft and market considerations alongside a coaching approach that holds your intentions, skill, and needs as a writer as paramount.
