Partial Manuscript Evaluation (With Neva Talladen)
This service is for authors who have finished at least a partial draft and need a second set of eyes trained to view the manuscript through the reader’s perspective. Manuscript evaluation offers strategic feedback on your sample writing (up to 15,000) as well as resource recommendations related to your writing process and other specific concerns.
Whatever the genre, a book is an experience that depends on the way you present (form, structure, style) and communicate (voice, POV) your story. After a manuscript evaluation, you’ll come away better informed on the strength of your writing as well as areas for concern to help you refine and revise your work more effectively.
Most fiction and nonfiction work (up to 15,000 words) are accommodated, except for commercial romance, poetry, and children’s books.
What you’ll get:
Starting Point Questionnaire and Welcome Guide (via email): a digital form where you may specify any questions about your manuscript or the writing process that you need help with
7-10 days - Reading period for the editor
Update/progress update from editor (via email)
5-7 days after reading period (via email):
Final summary letter
Content summary and suggested throughline
Other recommendations
Note: Does not include copy editing, proofreading, or developmental editing
