FAQ
What is a manuscript appraisal?
A manuscript appraisal is a big-picture critique of your writing. I look at structure, flow, pacing, clarity, and how your story is landing overall, then provide honest, constructive feedback to help you improve it.
Is this the same as proofreading?
No. This is not proofreading or line editing. I focus on the overall quality of your manuscript—what’s working, what may need strengthening, and how to move forward.
What genres do you work with?
I work with most genres, including fiction and non-fiction. If you’re unsure, feel free to message me before ordering.
Will you rewrite my manuscript?
No. I provide feedback and guidance, not rewriting. My goal is to help you strengthen your own writing with clear, practical suggestions.
Can you review a full-length novel?
Yes—longer manuscripts can be reviewed. Please message me first so we can discuss length, scope, and the best option for you.
Do you provide publishing advice?
I can offer general guidance based on experience, but this service focuses on strengthening your manuscript rather than detailed publishing strategy.
How detailed is the feedback?
You’ll receive a clear written report outlining strengths, areas to improve, and practical next steps. The level of detail increases with each package.
