FAQ
What is included in a manuscript evaluation?
At its base, an eval includes specific critique of your story from a bird's eye view. A few things I look for compelling/consistent characterization, cohesive plot, smooth pacing, organic dialogue.
Do you proofread during a manuscript eval?
I do light proofreading; however, this is not a full proofread, as it assumes a heavy amount of editing is still to come. Any proofreading feedback is focused on recurring patterns and author education so that mistakes can be avoided in the future.
What's the difference between an editorial letter and the in-line comments?
In-line comments not only allow me to react to your story in real time, but they give me the opportunity to offer more granular critiques regarding very specific lines and plot points. Editorial letters, while referencing specifics in the story, is by nature a more distant feedback.
My manuscript is longer than 100K words. Will you read it?
Manuscripts that are 100K words or longer in length must be broken into smaller portions over multiple orders. This is to ensure we are a good team before diving into a massive job, as well as to ensure I am fairly compensated, and that you receive a top-quality deliverable in a timely manner.

This is my first time working with Chelsea, and it won't be my last. She has a great eye and gave me a different perspective that was unique to other betas. I can tell she really wanted to find ways to improve my story, and that's invaluable. Thank you!

Always worth working with Chelsea for her insights, kindness and reality check. A good mix of line editing and a 30 thousand foot perspective that's hard to have as an author. She understands story well and how to get to something meaningful and fun to read.
