About this Gig
This is a blunt, structural critique. You do not need another reader telling you your book is "really good" and then going quiet when you ask what to fix. You need to know where readers put it down.
I am a novelist working in dark fantasy and horror. I have completed a 520 page horror novel and a dark fantasy trilogy of 206,107 words. I write full drafts without editing, then revise the whole book as one unit, and I critique your manuscript the same way I revise my own: structure first, scenes second, sentences last.
Your report covers: act structure and whether the turning points land where they should; a chapter by chapter map; character arcs; continuity and motif tracking; the opening hook; and a prioritised fix list, in the order I would actually do the work.
What this is not: proofreading, copy editing, or a rewrite.
How I work: I use AI tools for the first pass counting and mapping work, and I do the reading, judgment, and final report myself.
Message me before ordering the Full Manuscript package so we can confirm word count and deadline.

FAQ
Is this a beta read?
No. A beta read tells you how a reader felt. This tells you how the book is built, where it breaks, and in what order to fix it. Reader response is part of it, but it is not the whole product.
Will you proofread or line edit?
No. I will flag a repeated sentence level habit if it is hurting the book, with examples, but full proofreading and line editing are different services.
Will you rewrite scenes for me?
No. Where a scene is not working I will explain why and show the shape of a fix, sometimes with a short example paragraph. The rewriting stays yours.
What format do you want?
DOCX or a Google Docs link with comment access. Send your synopsis or outline in the same message if you have one. If you do not have one, tell me, because that changes what I can check.
My book is not finished. Can you still help?
Yes, with Basic or Standard. Tell me where you stopped and what you are stuck on. An unfinished draft usually needs an act structure check more than it needs chapter notes. Partial manuscripts up to 50,000 words are quoted by custom offer; message me with your word count.
Do you use AI?
Yes, for first pass counting, mapping, and consistency checks across a long manuscript. The reading, the conclusions, and the report are mine. If a no AI workflow matters to you, please do not order.
Will you be harsh?
I will be direct and specific, and I will name what is working with the same specificity. Vague praise does not help you revise. Cruelty does not either.
