Opening Pages

Do you wish to find out whether your opening chapters are likely to keep readers turning the pages of your novel?

​

Do you wish to get a sense of what may or may not be working in your novel, but you're not able to commit to a full developmental edit / manuscript evaluation?

​

This review focuses on the overall reading experience of your opening chapters. This includes looking at the following:

• Whether the opening is compelling / curiosity-inducing

• Characters

• Plot development and potential plot holes

• Story structure and pacing

• Tense and narrative viewpoint

• Consistency of world-building

• Target audience

• Overall writing style

​

You will receive over-arching feedback on these - and potentially other - elements of your manuscript within an editorial report. Please note: this review does not include in-manuscript comments.

​

As this edit is smaller, I'm often able to fit them around larger editing projects.

​

Sample edits are not available for this type of edit.
