  • First and foremost—congratulations! You have a complete first draft. Now it’s time to buckle down and examine your literary baby with a fresh pair of eyes.

    The Developmental Review will provide you with comprehensive analysis on the big picture structural elements of your story, such as plot, character development, writing style, pacing, and marketplace viability.

    The Developmental Review includes:

    —annotated comments of entire manuscript via MS Word tracking

    —an overview letter summarizing overall analysis of the manuscript’s structural strengths and weaknesses.

    —an hour follow-up Zoom/phone call/email consult to discuss any questions on your feedback.

    Please note that the Development Review does not include proofreading or line editing unless specifically requested.

  • Perhaps you’re preparing your manuscript for submission to agents and you want to make sure that your query and first pages are in absolute, tip-top shape. Or maybe you’re still in the drafting phase and you want some feedback to make sure you’re on the right path.

    Either way, the Query + First 50 Pages Review will provide you with much needed clarity!

    The Query + First 50 Pages Review includes:

    —annotated comments of first 50 pages via MS Word tracking

    —annotated comments of query letter via MS Word tracking

    —an overview letter summarizing overall analysis of the 50 pages’ structural strengths and weaknesses.

  • It’s probably the last thing you want to think about after finishing your manuscript—crafting compelling yet concise back cover copy for your book and a punchy author bio. But, for better or worse, they’re absolutely essential for maximizing marketplace viability…and are major determining factors for readers when deciding whether or not they want to buy your book.

    The Back Cover Copy & Author Bio Creation service will do all of the hard work for you and ensure that your book is putting its best sales and marketing foot forward.

    The Back Cover Copy & Author Bio Creation service includes:

    —a MS Word file with your custom-created book back cover copy (150 words or less)

    —a MS Word file with your custom-created author bio (100 words or less)

    —a 15 min follow-up phone call/email consult to discuss any questions on your delivered materials

    Please note that the Back Cover Copy & Author Bio Creation service does not include developmental editing, proofreading, or line editing of your manuscript.

  • Well done! You’ve finished a screenplay—something that a lot of writers talk about their entire lives but never actually do. But before it’s off to the races for the big screen, you should make sure it’s firing on all cylinders.

    Just like the Developmental Review, the Screenplay Review will examine the overarching structural elements of your story, such as plot, character development, writing style, pacing, and marketplace viability.

    The Screenplay Review includes:

    —annotated comments of entire screenplay via PDF, Final Draft, or Fade In.

    —an overview letter summarizing overall analysis of the screenplay’s structural strengths and weaknesses.

    —a 30 min follow-up Zoom/phone call/email consult to discuss any questions on your feedback.

    Please note that the Screenplay Review does not include proofreading or line editing unless specifically requested.
