About this Gig
Kindly message me before placing an order.
Finished your book but not sure if your story works? Are you on a budget or a self-directed writer? Do you not feel ready for a full developmental edit?
Manuscript evaluation provides a bird's-eye view, macro-level critique of the manuscript helping authors understand the strengths and weakness of its structural elements before moving on to line and copyedits.
WHAT DO YOU GET:
- 2-3 read-throughs of the manuscript
- Editorial Assessment Letter including manuscript assessment (big picture critique covering plot, pacing, style, character arcs, settings, and more) + chapter-wise fixes so you know exactly what to revise
- Inline comments with my reader reaction & light feedback
- 60-minute post assessment call to discuss the editorial report and Q&A within 7 days of delivery
All plans cover the same depth of editorial assessment and are structured as such to make the service accessible to all authors.

FAQ
Do you use AI to edit your work?
NO. I have a strict no-AI policy. You see a human, you get a human. I have more depth than AI and I am earth-friendly. And your literary text needs human texture to connect with the fellow kind.
What are your expectations from the author?
1. The literature must be entirely written by you, a human. 2. Please be kind, honest, patient, and professional during the course of the project.
Why do I need to message you before placing an order?
I take on only one editorial project at a time to provide immersive quality and to ensure my undivided presence during the editorial process. Additionally, providing a small free sample edit of your manuscript will make sure we are the right fit for each other.
Will my work be safe with you?
I completely understand the hard work you have put into your manuscript and it will be treated ethically and respectfully. As soon as the project is marked complete, I will delete your manuscript from my computer.
What genres and themes do you work with?
I work with contemporary and literary fiction, marginalised narratives, humour/comedy, and all genres and themes in fiction.
What literary formats does the gig include?
The manuscript evaluation can be for short stories, novella, novelettes, novels, and epic novels.
What other services do you offer?
I offer full developmental edits and manuscript evaluation for your short story, novelette, novella, novel, epic novel, creative essay, and first chapter(s) critique for your book.
How can I apply for the Community Plan?
You can simply select the plan and proceed. You will not be asked to produce any financial proof. I wish to ensure each story sees the light of day, while maintaining financial sustainability required to keep providing these services. All I ask of you is to be honest.
What is the difference between developmental editing (DE) and manuscript evaluation (ME)?
DE is a collaborative, exhaustive analysis of the manuscript. ME is a one time critique of the presented draft, including elemental analysis of the story structure, characters, and writing. You can message me for a more detailed explanation.
How long will the editorial assessment letter be?
The industry-standard comprehensive editorial letter spans from 5 to 20 pages, but its final length will be based on the structural necessity of the manuscript and not for the sake of building a height.
