Manuscript Reviews

Manuscript reviews offer authors the chance to have their work read and critiqued prior to the editing process. Though content organization and flow are reviewed when obtaining an Extensive Edit, extensive changes—such as a point of view change, plot and character strengthening, or substantive reorganization—can often lead to the necessity of additional extensive edits. A review can also provide authors with assistance in refining their initial manuscript drafts. (Please note that a manuscript review does not include a copyedit. If you would like to receive a copyedit, please choose another service type.)

A manuscript review may include a critique of the following:

Artistic Unity
Tension
Language/reader accessibility
Plot
Characters
Setting
Dialogue
Narration
Tone/Emotion
Description
Style
Sentence Structure and Rhythm
Presentation

Manuscript Review rates range from $.007 - $.008 per word.

Example: 50,000 words x $.007 = $350.00
