FAQ
What is a manuscript editorial assessment?
manuscript editorial assessment is a professional evaluation of your fiction manuscript. I identify its strengths, developmental concerns, and priority areas for revision, then provide practical recommendations in an editorial report.
Is this the same as developmental editing?
No. An editorial assessment identifies and explains areas that may need improvement, while developmental editing involves deeper, hands on work with the manuscript's structure, plot, characters, pacing and other elements.
Will you edit or rewrite my manuscript?
No. This Gig provides professional feedback and recommendations rather than directly editing, rewriting or proofreading your manuscript.
What genres do you assess?
I primarily assess fiction, including literary fiction, romance, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and horror/thriller. If you're unsure whether your genre is suitable, contact me before ordering.
Can you assess a full length novel?
Yes. Full length manuscripts can be accepted through a custom offer based on word count, complexity and the level of assessment required. Please contact me before ordering.
Can I submit an unfinished manuscript?
Yes. However, the assessment will be based only on the material you submit. For the most useful overall assessment, a substantially complete manuscript is recommended.
What format should I submit?
Please submit your manuscript as a DOCX or PDF file unless otherwise discussed before ordering.
What will I receive?
You will receive an editorial report containing observations about your manuscript's strengths, developmental concerns and prioritized recommendations for revision. The depth of the report depends on the package selected.
Can I ask questions after receiving the assessment?
Yes. Your included revision is intended for clarification of the delivered assessment. If you need a more detailed discussion of the manuscript, an editorial consultation can be added separately.
Which package should I choose?
Choose based on your manuscript's word count and the depth of feedback you need. If you're unsure, send me your word count, genre and project description before ordering, and I'll help you select the appropriate package.
