Up to 90,000 words
For writers with a complete draft who want an expert view of what works and what to fix before paying for a full edit. We read the whole manuscript, write an editorial letter on structure, pacing, character or argument, and genre fit, then talk it through with you on a call. There are no in-line edits, which is why it costs less than a developmental edit.
- Full read of the manuscript
- Editorial letter (typically 6–10 pages)
- 30-minute follow-up call
- Not included: In-line edits
Turnaround: 2–3 weeks, starting once payment and the manuscript are received
Payment: Invoiced in full once we've confirmed the scope. Work starts when payment has arrived.
