The Manuscript Review

For children’s books up to 1,000 words.

You’ve written the story, reread it approximately 147 times, changed a sentence, changed it back again and now you’re wondering whether any of it makes sense anymore.

This is where a fresh pair of eyes can help.

I’ll carefully read through your manuscript and give you thoughtful, constructive feedback on anything I notice that could strengthen the story. I’m not interested in holding useful observations back because they belong in a different “editing tier”. If I see something that could help, I’ll tell you.

Your review may explore:

• Spelling, grammar and punctuation

• Wording and sentence clarity

• Readability and flow

• Story pacing

• Repetition and unnecessary wording

• Character and dialogue

• Age-appropriateness

• Consistency throughout the manuscript

• Areas that feel confusing or could be strengthened

• What’s already working beautifully

• Practical suggestions for your next revision

You’ll receive your manuscript with my comments and suggestions, along with an overall summary of my feedback.
