Written analysis

When we read your unedited manuscript, we will determine if any developmental issues need to be addressed.

Please note that this is a “hands-off” process. We will not make any changes to your manuscript. Instead, we will create a written analysis memo describing our findings and suggestions.

Here's the process:

  • We will read the manuscript once.

  • We will identify weak spots, areas that need strengthening, and parts that appear to be missing.

  • We will determine if chapter and text sequencing make sense.

  • We will assess whether the sequence of events and character development are effective.

  • We will determine if you have communicated your messages logically and successfully.


  • In a memo, we will give specific examples and offer suggestions for improvement.

The suggested changes may be made by you or us ... it’s your choice.

Additional written analyses

If you make the suggested changes, and you want us to reanalyze your manuscript, we will submit an estimate or a fixed bid for a second written analysis.

The next step

This process will continue until you are ready to move to the next step ... developmental editing.
