Manuscript Evaluation

$1,997 • High-level structural analysis • Most popular

If you want to understand why your story isn’t working, and how to revise it meaningfully, this is the best place to start.

A Manuscript Evaluation analyzes your story as an integrated system. You’ll learn how your main plot, subplots, character arcs, and themes support (or weaken) one another so you can revise with intention instead of guesswork.

What’s Included:

• Full read-through of your manuscript so feedback is rooted in your story’s complete arc.

• Structural assessment of:

  • Main plot so you understand whether your central conflict is driving the story effectively.

  • Subplots so your side stories support rather than distract from the main narrative.

  • Character arcs so your characters grow in ways that feel intentional and emotionally satisfying.

  • Theme execution so your story says what you want it to say with clarity and impact.

  • Act-level pacing and progression analysis so your story maintains momentum and avoids sagging sections.

• Identification of the story’s foundational issues so you stop patching symptoms and start fixing the real problem.

• Clear revision recommendations that show you what to tackle first so you always know what to revise first for maximum improvement.

• A comprehensive written report (10–15+ pages) so you have a strategic plan you can return to throughout revision.

• Optional Q&A call to clarify next steps so you can clarify anything and move forward with confidence.

Best For:
Authors who love their story but know it could be stronger and want a clear plan for improving structure, emotional impact, and cohesion.
