About this Gig

I will give developmental feedback on your fiction manuscript, focusing on the larger story rather than correcting individual sentences.

I can look at:

  • Plot and story structure
  • Character development and motivation
  • Pacing and scene effectiveness
  • Story logic and causality
  • Continuity and clarity
  • Places that feel underdeveloped, confusing, or unnecessary
  • What is already working and worth preserving

You will receive specific, practical feedback explaining both the issue I see and why it matters to the story.

Basic includes developmental feedback on your excerpt.

Standard and Premium also include comments directly on the manuscript to show where specific story-level issues appear.

This service is for fiction and is intended as developmental critique, not proofreading, copyediting, or line editing.

If your manuscript is longer than the listed package size, you can add additional words or message me before ordering.
