In addition to a copy of your manuscript with any changes or comments, you will receive a detailed report that analyzes your story structure, character development, world-building, and prose. I'll also break down what I loved about your story while flagging any potential plot holes, missing genre elements, and/or scenes that may need some reworking.
Once you've had time to review my feedback, we'll set up an hour-long call to go over my recommendations together, with the option to set up a second call if you feel you need it.
