Manuscript Evaluation
How might your novel be experienced? As a whole is everything coming together as it should? Is there a small plot hole that's been overlooked? An inconsistency with setting? Perhaps something doesn't feel quite right and you need a second pair of eyes to look over it.
​This is a cost-effective option where you receive unbiased and constructive feedback on the big picture elements of your writing. We'll look at what's working well and ways to sharpen areas that may need a little more attention.
