Manuscript Assessment

Other

$22/hr Starting at $250

I’ve been working with publishers, literary agencies, and independent authors for 14 years. I can evaluate your manuscript and show you were it needs improvement so you can reach your widest possible audience. In a fiction manuscript review, I look for cohesiveness of the plot(s), character development, consistency, historical / contextual accuracy, marketability, originality, and much more. I review the overall texture of the fictive world and make sure that it’s understandably and compelling. Non-fiction manuscripts are quite different. I look for plagiarism, utility of sources, proper use of terms, logical consistency, flow, and more.

I am extremely satisfied with the work Nathan did on my book of short stories. From start to finish he was accessible, helpful, and super-easy to work with. I was impressed with how quickly he communicated back to me when I sent him messages. The turn-around was very fast and I would definitely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a true professional! Five stars all the way- thank you, Nathan!
