Editorial Evaluation – This is a comprehensive review of your manuscript, focusing on the big picture and the overall strength of your message. I’ll provide detailed feedback to help you refine and polish your work.

The evaluation includes: 

• A critique of your manuscript, highlighting both its strengths and areas for improvement.
• Suggestions on how to enhance your writing and better align it with your vision.
• A Style Sheet (details below) to ensure consistency in punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and tone.
• Recommendations on the level of editing you may need if you choose to work with another editor. 

This service offers a clear path forward to make your manuscript the best it can be!

Continue working with me: If you'd like me to edit your manuscript after the review, I will subtract what you pay today from my editing fee.

MY PROCESS:

To help you follow my changes, I include written comments or queries explaining why I suggest the change. I use Google Doc. editing tools: edit mode, and comments tabs so that you can see and approve changes.

Manuscripts are accepted in Microsoft Word, RTF file, or Google Docs-friendly formats. (*if you need support transferring your book into one of these files, email me for a custom invoice).

In addition, I will create a Style Sheet that clearly outlines important writing rules, such as punctuation usage, how numbers should be written, capitalization standards, spelling consistency, and proper citation of quotes—all aligned with the Chicago Manual of Style.

This guide will also highlight any specialized terms you use, ensuring they are applied consistently throughout your manuscript. It will capture the unique voice and tone of your writing and keep your target audience in focus.

Style guides are incredibly helpful, especially if you plan to author more books, as they provide a clear, organized reference to maintain consistency across your work.
