Sometimes you do not need 3,000 margin notes. You need a sharp diagnostic: what is working, what is costing you readers, and which three revision moves matter most.
Ideal for
- Authors between drafts who want a professional read before a full developmental edit
- Writers preparing agent submissions who need opening-strength and overall coherence feedback
- Budget-conscious projects that still deserve expert eyes
Deliverable
A substantial editorial letter covering premise, structure, character/voice, pacing, and market-facing notes when relevant—plus a prioritized revision sequence.
Want deeper collaboration afterward? Critiques often convert cleanly into scoped developmental editing.
Next step: Prefer a lighter start? A manuscript critique or sample pages often clarify whether you need developmental work or can move straight to copyediting.
