Evaluative Editing
So you’ve written the story
(or at least the first draft) and you’re ready to take the next step in your publishing journey.
But how do you know if your book is giving off the vibes you wanted?
Maybe you’re stuck, or you’ve found some plot holes,
and you don’t know where to go from here to fix it.
I can help!
Your Story Matters

Your Story Matters 〰️
So what does that even look like?
We’ll take a look at the big picture of your story, from start to finish, looking for plot structure and genre needs. You’ll receive a report with genre specific checkpoints to be sure your characters have achieved full arcs and your storyline is complete. You’ll receive reader first impressions and questions to help form your final draft.
Questionnaire
Hey, you! We’ll kick off with questionnaire to find out a little bit about your project. I’ll look over the answers and get started with my first impressions!
First Round
I’ll read through it once, giving my reader impressions and any questions I have about the story as I read! These don’t require any action or responses, it’s just to give you an idea of where a reader might be at at this point in the story and see if that’s where you want them to be.
Second Round
My second round you might see less comments on-screen. I’m using this read through to think more critically about the manuscript as a whole now that I’m familiar with it, and seeing if there are any specific areas of concern and strong points.
Delivery
Phew, we’re done! You’ll receive an analysis over specific points, timelines, and plot structure. If there’s any stress points they’ll be included as areas to look over. We can schedule a call to go over this information if it’s a good fit for you, or chat over email if you have any questions!
Are you ready to make this official?

This is not taking the place of line edits! WHILE I WILL NOTE SOMETHING IF I SEE IT, you will still need a line or copy editor.
