  • Manuscript Evaluation

    We will create a structural report evaluating the strength and weaknesses of your manuscript. Within this structure, elements such as narrative arc, pace, voice, characters, plot, and dialogue will be considered and critiqued. Our evaluation will be based on an objective point of view, aiming to improve your manuscript.

  • Developmental Editing

    Our editors will work with you to resolve "big picture" issues in your manuscript. You will work with our editors to address broader story elements, including plot, setting, characters, point of view, and conflict.
