I am a professional manuscript evaluator and developmental editor with over five years of dedicated experience providing comprehensive structural feedback for fiction authors. Holding a B.A. in English Literature with a focus on Creative Writing and Narratology, I have spent my career working alongside independent authors, editorial groups, and literary presses to refine and prepare complex manuscripts for successful publication. As a published fiction writer, I bring a rare combination of firsthand industry experience and an objective, analytical lens to your project. I know what makes a text tick, what keeps readers turning pages, and what causes them to put a book down. My career is built on helping authors see their stories through a reader's perspective while maintaining a rigorous focus on story architecture. I specialize in romance, fantasy, and thriller novels, evaluating everything from soft slow-burns to pitch-black suspense. My expertise centers on identifying structural vulnerabilities, pacing issues, timeline inconsistencies, and character development flaws. I deliver detailed chapter-by-chapter feedback that go far beyond surface-level notes. You will receive an extensive, professional PDF reader report providing 2-4 pages of honest, respectful, and actionable critique per chapter to push your writing toward excellence.
