Nonfiction Manuscript Evaluation
Finished a nonfiction manuscript but not ready to hire a full developmental editor? I’ll provide a big-picture evaluation that highlights what’s working, what isn’t and where to focus your next round of revisions before submission or self-publishing.
What you get
• Read-through of your manuscript up to 30,000 words
• 3–5 page editorial report on structure, pacing and clarity
• Comments on argument strength, reader promise and market fit
• High-level notes on voice, chapter openings and endings
• Concrete suggestions for your next rewrite pass
How it works
• You send the latest draft in Word or Google Docs
• I skim your synopsis, target readers and publishing goals
• I read the manuscript, taking notes and marking key sections
• I deliver the report, answer clarifying questions and you revise
