Outline Analysis
An outline analysis dives into the structural basis of your story. The journey of your main character(s), the plot, themes, magic system(s), arcs, all put under a lens of scrutiny. Not to find faults, but to find questions. To find areas of conflicting setup that could lead to writing yourself into a corner later.
Specifically, this is what you’ll get:
A structural analysis of outlines up to 10k words
Heavily annotated with marginal comments
A review of any story and worldbuilding material
A 5+ page summary of feedback
One 60-minute brainstorming session with me
Outline analysis begins at $270
About Me
I have a specialty focus in developmental editing and worldbuilding in the fantasy/sci-fi genres. I’ve worked as lead editor on many manuscripts in traditional publishing and now I’m looking to help more authors submit strong manuscripts and feel confident when self-publishing.
One thing I value in the editing process is my relationship with the author. Sharing a novel, whatever stage it’s at, puts the author in a vulnerable state. It’s important for your editor to be the person in your corner. It’s my primary focus to look for ways to strengthen your manuscript, make it the best it can be, but to also celebrate what you excel at already. I want you to leave our time together with a complete understanding of where your manuscript is engaging and fun and drawing people in and where it can be improved. I do this through margin comments, summary notes, editorial letters, emails, and live conversations.
My site guides you to the services I recommend based on where you are with your novel. If you’re uncertain what services you need, send me a message through the contact form or one of my socials. Hiring an editor should be a phenomenal experience. Let’s start a conversation, see if we’re a good fit, and forge your novel into something people will write home about!
