FAQ
What is a developmental editorial report?
It’s a written assessment of your manuscript’s big-picture strengths and weaknesses: structure, pacing, flow, characters or argument, and overall impact. It ends with a practical plan for your next draft.
Will you edit my manuscript?
No. This gig gives you a written report with my feedback and advice, and I do not make changes or leave comments inside your manuscript.
Do you read my whole manuscript?
Yes. I read the full manuscript, up to the word limit of your package, before writing the report, so my feedback reflects the whole book and not just a sample.
What will the report include?
A strengths and weaknesses overview, feedback on structure, pacing and flow, character or argument notes, and an action plan for your next draft. Premium also includes chapter-by-chapter notes.
What file format will I receive?
You’ll get your report as a PDF or Word document, whichever you prefer. Tell me when you order, and I’ll deliver it in that format.
What file format should I send?
Send your manuscript as a Word document (.docx), or share a Google Docs link with access for me. Please send the full, most recent draft so my feedback is accurate.
What types of books do you review?
I review fiction and nonfiction, including memoirs, self-help, Christian books and biographies. Message me before ordering if you’re unsure whether your project fits.
My manuscript is longer than the package. What should I do?
Choose the package that fits your word count, or add the “Additional words” extra. For a very long manuscript, message me and I’ll send a custom offer.
How do revisions work?
A revision means I clarify my feedback or answer follow-up questions about the report. It doesn’t include re-reading a rewritten manuscript. You can buy an additional revision as an extra.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Your manuscript stays private. I never share it, publish it or use it for any purpose other than your report.
