The most obvious two are a manuscript critique and a developmental edit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manuscript critique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of the first, you get a lengthy report focusing on not just the main issues in your manuscript, you also get some lower level feedback. And I&#8217;ll also tell you what you&#8217;re getting right! This option comes with a reading list that&#8217;s specially targeted for your needs. I recently offered a lower priced version of this option which requires only three reads. My preference is four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two reads for me is what I would call a <strong>Beta Critique<\/strong>. It&#8217;s beyond a beta read, but not as extensive as a manuscript critique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manuscript critiques don&#8217;t include margin comments, unless you opt to purchase an add-on service. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You want margin comments for the first 5000 words of your manuscript on top of the report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other word count options are available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developmental edit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With developmental editing you get a report and margin comments throughout the manuscript. This is a much more detailed type of editing and takes longer. It also gives you more feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening chapters developmental edit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of these services, I offer an opening chapters developmental edit. The usual length here is the first 10,000 words or 15,000 words (it can vary). This is a great opportunity to test out developmental editing without having to commit to full developmental editing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also learn a lot from an opening chapters edit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does your story open in the best place?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have a good opening hook?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you dropping in too much backstory?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is your main character well established in the opening chapters?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do your opening chapters and style of writing conform to the genre you&#8217;re aiming for?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you adopting the right tone?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you using too much internal dialogue?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is your dialogue properly formatted?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is your opening well paced?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you using the best POV for your story?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have head hopping issues in your story?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to these and other issues, if you include the synopsis, I can check to see if the opening of your novel is fulfilled by the ending. With the synopsis I can also address character arc, theme, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the opening chapters developmental edit, you get a report consisting of a few thousand words, plus margin comments and a reading list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEW: Opening chapters manuscript critique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I&#8217;m now offering an alternative to the opening chapters edit &#8211; one that mimics a manuscript critique, where you only get the report, no margin comments. Because this takes less time, the price will be lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It could be that you&#8217;re at a point where you need lighter feedback on your beginning. Or maybe you&#8217;re on a lower budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do choose an opening chapters edit, you are entitled to a discount on a full edit later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel free to contact me about opening chapters edits and reports. We can discuss your project and what you&#8217;re looking for. I will do my best to meet your needs.
