Manuscript Evaluation
Includes one detailed editorial letter that focuses on big-picture ideas and concepts. I will tell you what is working well for the story, as well as what needs more time in revision and why. I will also lightly annotate the manuscript and provide recommendations on how to address some of the concerns.

Developmental Editing
Includes a round of editing focusing on a close reading of the MS, with special attention to narrative development, character, continuity/coherency, conflict, structure, voice, pacing, tension, thematic development, style, execution, and other story elements. You will receive an editorial letter and an annotated manuscript. For novels, it also includes a book map. A second round can be purchased at half the price.

For novels, a style sheet is also included.

Proofreading
