What's included

  • In-line comments

    I will leave reactions, feedback and questions in the margins of your manuscript document.

  • Editorial assessment letter

    I will write a detailed and thorough analysis of the following: plot holes, story flow & pacing, voice and tone, world-building, character arc & characterization, and more.

  • Style sheet

    I will create a document that the outlines facts about your fictional universe, characteristics, spelling and other formatting preferences. This is important for tracking consistency throughout the story. Typically style sheets are only used by copyeditors but I create them for my own reference. I thought it would be a fun bonus to include in the service.
