I will professionally analyse and develop your fantasy or space opera story
Out Of This World Story Coaching For Fantasy Authors!
About this Gig
I provide thoughtful developmental feedback for fiction authors who want clear, constructive insight into their manuscript, helping shape your ideas into stronger and more compelling stories.
Rather than focusing only on surface-level errors, I look at the bigger story picture: plot, pacing, character development, dialogue, worldbuilding, structure, clarity and overall reader impact. My aim is to help you understand what is working, what may need strengthening, and how your story can become more robust, more effective and more engaging whilst preserving your unique authorial voice.
You will receive:
- A tailored and tier appropriate manuscript assessment using my 10 step critical process, designed to provide valuable developmental feedback on your story, structure, characters, worldbuilding and more.
- A manuscript scorecard illustrating your story's strengths and weaknesses.
- Notes on recurring spelling, grammar or punctuation issues where they affect readability.
This service is ideal for fantasy, space opera, space fantasy, dystopian and speculative fiction authors seeking actionable feedback on their manuscript, opening chapters, scenes or overall story concept.
