Manuscript Review
Get your manuscript fully reviewed by a professional editor. A manuscript review gives invaluable feedback on what is working well in your manuscript and why, what your manuscript needs to go to the next level, and how best to arrive there.
Manuscript reviews take between 2-3 weeks to complete. This includes a one-hour introduction with your editor, a detailed letter with the editor’s findings, and a one-hour debrief that enables you to ask questions after you have finished your review.

Manuscript Review Rates
Manuscript review rates average between $0.02 and $0.03 per word. The initial $65 consultation fee will go toward whatever services you book.
Differences in Manuscript Review vs Evaluation
Manuscript reviews are more involved than evaluations and will merit your editor reading through your manuscript more than once and writing a more detailed cover letter that cites specifics in the manuscript (with page numbers). Your editor may also mark up your copy to show areas they reference in the letter and final consultation chat.
Manuscript evaluations are less involved than reviews. Typically, the editor will do less mark-ups in the manuscript and will give an overall impression of the manuscript. The letter detailing recommendations and strengths will be shorter.
