Manuscript Evaluations
A manuscript evaluation is exactly that: an evaluation. You will receive a detailed written report between 10 and 20 pages complete with examples, ideas and next steps to capitalize on the manuscript's strengths and improve on its weaknesses.
An evaluation includes, but is not limited to, assessing the following:
-
Strength of the plot and story line
-
Strength of the character development
-
Flow of dialogue and its relationship to characterization
-
Strength of world building
-
Believability of the overall story, characters and world
-
Strength of the writing
-
Effectiveness of the style and voice used
-
Marketability of the manuscript
In addition to a written report, authors are welcome to ask questions about the feedback given and to bounce ideas off of via email. Conversations over Zoom or phone can be added at an additional cost.
*A manuscript evaluation does not include any editing or work directly on the manuscript.
