Finished the umpteenth revision of your novel but still aren’t sure it’s pitch- or publish-ready?
You need a Manuscript Review Ready Check!
This free Ready Check is a fit call for writers considering a Full Manuscript Review, so we can confirm you’ll get the most out of it before you invest.
If anything below sounds like you—and you’re considering a Full Manuscript Review in the next 1–3 months—book your Ready Check fit call:
You’ve finished your manuscript. (Hooray! Congratulations!) But you know it’s not quite where you want it to be yet, and you don’t know how to move forward.
You’re struggling with a particular aspect of story structure, pacing, or character development and want expert input, so you can stop staring at the screen making edits that you aren’t even sure are making things better 😩
You want a clear action plan for preparing your manuscript for a Full Manuscript Review.
You’ve received feedback from critique partners or beta readers but need a professional opinion on what’s working and not working (and clear solutions to the problems).
You feel stuck in revisions and need expert insights to break through roadblocks.
Here’s how it works:
In this 50-minute, one-on-one call, I’ll take you through an assessment to get clear on the current state of your manuscript.

Pick a date & time for your 50-minute Zoom call below.
I’ll send you my Manuscript Ready Check questionnaire to fill out.
On the call, I’ll ask you about story structure, character development/arc, your point/message, genre, and more. Expect lots of questions!
What you’ll leave with:
1–3 priorities to focus on.
A clear recommendation: book a Full Manuscript Review now, or what to tackle first.
If it’s a fit, I’ll invite you to book.
A Full Manuscript Review is a full, thoughtful, and craft-savvy evaluation of your novel so you can understand exactly what’s working beautifully and what needs further development. The cost is $2,500.
*These calls are designed for writers actively considering a review, so please book if you’re open to investing in professional feedback if we decide it’s the right next step.
A manuscript review is ideal for writers who:
Have a completed draft or near-complete draft
Want an in-depth understanding of strengths + areas for improvement
Are preparing to revise before querying or publishing
Prefer clear, actionable editorial guidance
Want professional eyes on their work before the next stage
Not ideal if:
You’re still drafting (try Accountability or 1:1 Coaching instead)
You want light feedback or quick impressions
You are not open to revision or editorial conversation
You’re mainly looking for a free 50-minute brainstorming/pep talk about your book (this call is a readiness + fit assessment)
