I will give fiction manuscript critique and score report using proprietary logic engine
About this Gig
Stop Paying for Opinions. Start Auditing for Structure.
Most feedback is subjective. Most beta readers tell you if they liked your story. Narrative Forge delivers clinical structural analysis, no cheerleading, no vague encouragement. Just continuity states, dimensional analysis, and priority fixes.
A proprietary logic engine stress-tests your manuscript against 7 structural dimensions.
The Deliverable: Analysis Report (PDF)
Every report includes:
- Dimensional analysis
- Priority fixes ranked by impact - Fix First, Fix Soon, Polish.
- Top flags: filler words, repetition drift, continuity breaks
The Rules of the Forge
- Fiction only, I specialize in the mechanics of storytelling.
- Clinical feedback. If a plot point is broken, I will tell you exactly why, where, and what direction to consider.
- This is for authors who want to query agents or self-publish with a structurally sound manuscript.
Every dimension in this report is backed by specific passages from your manuscript, not by general impressions. Every suggested fix is directional. Your voice is protected.
"The logic for these fixes is objective, but the implementation is where Art happens."

FAQ
Is this a standard beta reading service?
No. Beta readers provide subjective opinions ("I liked this part"). The Narrative Forge provides a structural audit. Using the proprietary logic engine, I perform a mechanical stress test on your manuscript to identify structural failures, logic gaps, fillers and suggest actionable fixes.
Do you offer positive encouragement?
My reports are clinical and objective. If a scene works, the data will reflect it, if it fails, I will tell you why and where and suggestions to reconstruct it. If you are looking for emotional validation, this is not the service for you.
What does a "Revision" include?
As this is a technical diagnostic of the manuscript as submitted, a revision is for clarification of the audit findings only. It does not include a re-audit of a rewritten draft or same draft
Why is "Fiction Only" a requirement?
The logic engine is specifically calibrated for narrative arcs, character agency, and causal fiction logic. To maintain the highest standard of accuracy, I do not audit non-fiction, academic papers, or technical manuals.
What does the score mean? Is a low score bad?
The score reflects structural craft against objective criteria, not the quality of your story idea. A Bronze score with two Fix First items means your manuscript has specific, fixable issues. The tier tells you where to focus, not whether your story is worth telling.
Will this change my voice or style?
No. Voice is assessed and protected as part of the evaluation. Every suggested fix is directional. The report tells you what structural problem exists and suggests a direction. How you solve it is yours.
