A manuscript evaluation is a deep analysis of your book, thesis, or dissertation both as a whole and as individual components focusing on content, structure, development, consistency and, for fiction, literary elements. A detailed report is provided that indicates strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, targeted recommendations, and resources.
Benefits of a Manuscript Evaluation
It is difficult to be objective about our own writing and having a manuscript edited or analyzed by a professional can help us write better. It can help you produce better work with less revisions. It can also provide a confidence boost. Many writers aim to write two books per year. Academics must publish books and articles in their filed to obtain tenure. In order to meet your productivity/career goals, you need to be good and fast. A manuscript evaluation will help you with that!
WHAT is included
Identification of big picture problems, strengths and weaknesses with writing, structure, or development, targeted recommendations, and resources in a lengthy report. Includes one 45-minute coaching session. No in-line comments or changes are made to the text. See an example of a dissertation evaluation.

“Angela did a fantastic job editing my Master’s thesis. As someone who didn’t have knowledge of the topic, she asked great questions during the process, which helped to make my thesis more accessible to my target audience. I recommend her as someone who is detail oriented and critically reads the work she is presented for editing.”
