About this Gig
With a focus on plotting, pace, characters, world-building, and tone, I will read your manuscript and supply thorough feedback with an overall write-up, along with inline notes throughout the text (if a google or word doc is supplied). The reader report will be detailed, looking from both a reader and author perspective. I will also make use of the google doc or word commenting feature to leave my reactions as I go along, and correct any grammar or spelling issues I spot.
My feedback will be detailed, and I will include comments on:
- Individual Character Impressions
- Plotting: flow, pacing, twists, interest
- World-building/ Setting: not just for fantasy, discussions of the world you have created around your characters
- Writing Style: including advice on improvements and a line edit
- Tone: does it fit the genre? Is your voice/ your characters voice strong?
- Overview: including strengths/ weaknesses and brief summary
- Any particular questions you have
I read manuscripts of all fiction genres and lengths (no non-fiction), just get in touch if you'd like to confirm we're a good fit.

FAQ
My word count is over 70,000 words, can I still order with you?
Yes, of course, just get in touch. I'm happy to read longer works.
How do I supply my manuscript?
You can send me a copy of the word docx or a google doc link. I prefer working with word doc to make use of the inline comments feature, but I'm flexible.
What will your feedback look like?
Along with the inline comments, I supply a report that will typically be broken down as follows: CHARACTERS PLOT/PACING WORLD BUILDING WRITING STYLE GENERAL COMMENTS Each section will include detailed notes, and I will add other sections if I feel it's necessary.
What genres do you read?
I'm happy to read all genres apart from memoirs/non-fiction and anything overtly religious. Including 18+ and trigger heavy works. Just drop me a message if you aren't sure.
My manuscript is fiction, but not a novel, can we work together?
Please get in touch first if your work is something other than a novel, for example a script or poetry.
Will you read works written by AI?
Absolutely not, I am very against generative AI in creative spaces and won't be a good fit for you.

I really appreciated the feedback. Extremely quick (250 pages in less than a week with annotations all the way through). Many good points throughout, both in the annotations and in the reader report. Responded quickly and in depth to the questions that arose as I read her comments.

Ahhhh!!! Louise is AMAZING! The amount of comments she left on my manuscript were so helpful. Not only just leaving reactions, but giving really thorough feedback on why something didn’t land, or felt frustrating. Will be booking with her again!
