Manuscript Critiques and Copyediting

Visit my other website at The Justified Line to find out more about these services:

~ Manuscript evaluation and critique of novels for children and teens

~ Copyediting general-interest books for audiences of all ages


Manuscript evaluation and critique:

Novels for children or teens (ages 8-18):

This is a "big picture" critique: Is your book the best it can be? Is it ready for an agent or editor? Has it received a number of rejections without clear feedback? I can read your complete or partial manuscript and evaluate for:

Plot and story arc
Voice
Point of view
Characterization
Dialogue
Organization and structure
Length
Pacing
Appropriateness for the intended audience

Copyediting:

General-interest books for audiences of all ages:

I can review your book manuscript to ensure correct mechanics and consistent style, in preparation for submission to a publisher or agent, or for POD publication.

Copyedited elements include:

- grammar
- spelling
- punctuation
- syntax
- consistency
- clarity
- format
- editorial style (capitalization, dashes, numbers, etc.)
- front matter and back matter (if applicable)
