About this Gig
Congratulations on getting your manuscript ready for the next step! If you're wondering what's missing or how to elevate your story, this diagnostic is your answer. It's a strategic, big-picture review designed to give you clarity, confidence, and an actionable plan for your revisions.
Please Note: This is a special introductory price for a limited time to celebrate my new gig.
This service is a developmental diagnostic, not a copyedit. We'll focus on your story's foundation, structure, pacing, and characters, not sentence-level grammar.
What Your Diagnostic Includes:
- Full Manuscript Read (up to 80,000 words): A thorough review of your entire book.
- 60-Minute 1:1 Strategy Call: We'll discuss my findings and brainstorm solutions together.
- 8 Page Editorial Memo: A detailed report covering your book's premise, structure, pacing, character arcs, voice, stakes, and market fit.
- Prioritized Revision Roadmap: A clear, step-by-step checklist so you know exactly where to focus your energy.
How It Works:
Simply provide your manuscript as a MS Word .docx file. Your work is 100% confidential, and I'm happy to sign an NDA.
Timeline: 14 Days
You have a powerful story to tell!

FAQ
What is a manuscript diagnostic? How is it different from copyediting?
A manuscript diagnostic is a big-picture review of your story's foundation, focusing on elements like structure, pacing, premise, and character arcs. Unlike copyediting, it does not include sentence-level corrections for grammar or punctuation. Think of it as a strategic roadmap for your revisions.
What are your delivery times? Is the $199 Basic package always available?
The standard delivery time is 14-21 days for the Basic package. Because this comprehensive service is offered at a special introductory price, I may limit the number of orders I accept at one time to ensure every manuscript gets the full attention it deserves. Please message me before ordering.
What genres do you work with?
I specialize in helping authors of self-help, fantasy, and suspense and have deep expertise in the unique demands of these genres. At this time, I am not the best fit for poetry, erotica, or academic texts. If you're unsure, just send me a message with your book's details, and we can chat.
What file format and formatting should I use for my manuscript?
To get started, please submit your manuscript as a Microsoft Word file (.docx).
Is my work kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your ideas and your manuscript are your intellectual property, and I treat them with 100% confidentiality. I am also more than happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for your complete peace of mind before we begin. Your trust and security are my top priorities.
I love the diagnostic! How do I hire you for a full edit?
I'm thrilled you're ready for the next step! After you receive your diagnostic and revision roadmap, you'll have a clear idea of what your manuscript needs. Simply send me a message, and we can discuss a custom offer.
