Finished your manuscript but aren't sure what actually needs to change?
A manuscript evaluation steps back from the reader experience to look at your story as a whole. I'll help you identify the biggest issues affecting your manuscript and where to focus your revisions.
I've worked with fiction writers for 8+ years and completed nearly 500 beta reads and critiques.
Your evaluation includes:
- Full manuscript read
- Detailed editorial report
- Plot, structure, and character analysis
- Pacing, conflict, and narrative momentum
- Genre expectations and reader experience
- Setups, payoffs, and overall cohesion
- **Prioritized revision goals and recommendations**
- Focused in-line comments
I'll help answer: What's working? What's holding the manuscript back? And what should I tackle first?
This is a developmental-level assessment, not proofreading, copyediting, or line editing.
Ideal for completed drafts, especially if you've received feedback but don't know how to prioritize revisions or simply know something isn't working.

FAQ
What's the difference in a manuscript evaluation and a beta read?
A beta read focuses on your reader's experience: what works, what confuses, and what engages. A manuscript evaluation goes deeper, identifying underlying issues and prioritizing the revisions that will have the greatest impact.
What if I have follow up questions?
I always welcome follow-up questions! However, if you have them, I'd appreciate it if you'd ask them within the gig chat since I do not typically offer revisions.
What type of files do you accept?
I currently accept manuscripts as doc, docx, and pdf files.
Do you use AI?
No. I do critiques and evaluations because I love storytelling. So, I do absolutely everything from scratch. I don't use AI to edit or to write the editorial report.
