About this Gig
You finished your manuscript, read through it until the words all jumbled together, and are in need of a fresh pair of eyes to take it to its fullest potential. Great news: I'm your gal.
With my background in writing and editing, I promise to provide extensive feedback including an in-depth analysis with clear, actionable suggestions for improvement.
- Intro/Ending
- POV/Voice
- Characters
- Pacing/Flow
- Dialogue
- Setting
- Plot Holes & Inconsistencies
- Strengths & areas to improve
You will get: In-line comments of reactions as I read along & a detailed multiple page reader report with constructive feedback.
While reading, I am asking myself:
- Was the story gripping from the very beginning? If not, why?
- Is there any point where the pacing seems too slow or fast?
- Are there any parts of the story that confused me?
- Are there any inconsistencies?
- Is the setting immersive?
- Do the characters & their actions/dialogue feel authentic?
- Does the writing style suit the target audience/genre?
- Is the ending satisfying?
Preferred Genres: YA and Adult Fiction (fantasy, romance, thriller, paranormal, mystery, adventure, litrpg, short stories, horror), Non-Fiction, Philosophy
I do not use AI at all.
Language:

Although my order took much longer than expected, Kimberly’s attention to detail and care with my manuscript made the wait worth it. She gave me a lot of things to think about, directions I could go in, etc. Her in line comments were extremely helpful and the reader report was quite thorough.
