​

Helping you craft stories that reach magical heights
​Thank you for the developmental edit. Your advice has been invaluable and has helped to rescue me from the endless re-writing. I now find myself with a clear path to completing my manuscript in a more reader-friendly format.
 
As a first-time writer, I am most grateful to you for the guidance you have offered since my first enquiry. The whole process has become much less daunting.

is my manuscript ready for this stage?
​

A manuscript critique is perfect for an early draft, a first novel that hasn’t received any other feedback, or if your budget doesn’t stretch to a full developmental edit.
​

what does this service involve?

I’ll read though your manuscript once and write you an editorial letter which will consider big-picture elements such as plot and structure, voice, character development, point of view, tense, pacing and writing style. This will help you ensure you've got a compelling narrative and that you’re telling the best possible version of your story. I'll discuss the elements that are already working really well for you, as well as any areas that would benefit from being tightened up.
