The Manuscript Sesh

You've done the hard part—you wrote the book.

Now it's time to make sure every page is working as hard as you are.

Whether you're preparing to query agents, submit to publishers, or self-publish, The Manuscript Sesh is a comprehensive edit designed to strengthen your story from the inside out. Together, we'll identify what's working, uncover what's holding your manuscript back, and create a clear path toward a stronger, more compelling draft.

Choose the level of editing that's right for your manuscript:

The Developmental Edit

Big-picture storytelling matters. A developmental edit focuses on the elements that keep readers turning pages.

Your edit may include feedback on:

• Plot and pacing
• Character development and motivation
• Point of view
• Story structure
• Dialogue
• World-building (when applicable)
• Theme and emotional impact
• Scene effectiveness
• Overall manuscript cohesion

You'll receive:

• An editorial letter with actionable feedback and revision priorities
• In-line comments throughout your manuscript highlighting opportunities, questions, and suggestions
• Practical guidance to help you tackle your next revision with confidence

The Line Edit

Once your story is structurally sound, it's time to refine the prose.

A line edit focuses on the craft of your writing—strengthening clarity, rhythm, voice, and flow while preserving what makes your writing uniquely yours.

Your edit may include:

• Sentence structure and readability
• Word choice and repetition
• Dialogue refinement
• Pacing at the paragraph and scene level
• Consistency of voice
• Stronger transitions
• Eliminating unnecessary filler
• Polishing language without losing your style

You'll receive:

• A fully edited manuscript with tracked changes and comments
• Suggestions that elevate your writing while maintaining your voice

Is This Right for You?

The Manuscript Sesh is ideal if you've completed a full draft and are ready for thoughtful, honest, professional feedback before your next round of revisions or submission.

Every manuscript is different, which is why this service is priced by the word. My fee is $0.008/word.

70k words = $560               80k words = $640              90k words = $730    

Once you select your service and submit the $300 retainer, you will receive an email  with additional instructions on how to submit your pages. Once received, I will create your supplemental invoice (minus the paid retainer) based on your manuscript word count and send a link to schedule our intro call to discuss any specific items you'd like me to focus on.

Please note: I work and write full-time so very small number of querying and manuscript service spaces are opened each month so space is limited.
