Manuscript Review and Evaluation
100
I will read a manuscript of a fiction novel at any stage of the editing process and give you quality feedback to help you get to the next stage. I will evaluate it according to genre and style clarified beforehand during correspondence with you, and give you positive and encouraging advice based on my experience as both a reader and a fellow writer. I will give you feedback to help you excel in the following areas:
- Overall plot structure and arc
- Scene structure and sub-plot weaving
- Character realism and development arcs
- Setting/milieu realism and development
- Thematic consistency and presentation
- Voice, style, and general wordsmithing skill
- Premise and core story question
I will let you know what I liked about the story, what I see can be improved upon, and suggestions on how to go about it.
It will take me up to a month to guarantee time to read and formulate my evaluation of a full-length novel, with my busy schedule. I also reserve the right to refuse at any time during the reading to cease my evaluation due to excessively offensive content (I won't evaluate erotica, pretty much).
