For writers ready for detailed structural feedback throughout the manuscript, not just a summary. You receive an editorial letter, margin comments on the full text and a revision plan, then a call to agree priorities. Do this before copyediting: structural changes can rewrite whole scenes or chapters.

- Margin comments throughout
- Revision plan
- 60-minute follow-up call
- Not included: Line editing or proofreading
Turnaround: 3–5 weeks, starting once the deposit and manuscript are received
