You have a first draft of your manuscript but you know it needs more work

 

You've put time and effort into creating your manuscript. It's well on its way, though still unrefined and lacking in some way. Your story is going to be wonderful, it's just not there yet. You know it needs work but you're uncertain of exactly what needs attention and how to go about making the changes it needs. 

 

Does the plot need adjusting? Or do the characters need more depth? Have you got enough conflict and action? Or does it need an infusion of emotion? Is the pace breakneck and dizzying or dragging like a zombie in chains? Are you caught up in cliche or bogged down in unrealistic dialogue?

 

You hesitate to hit the delete button and start rewriting because you don't want to scrap the good bits in your effort to remove the dross. You need help to identify what's working well and what needs improvement. You need guidance on where to focus your attention and how to begin re-crafting your text.

 

When I comprehensively edit your manuscript, I'll evaluate the elements and give you valuable advice and guidance on how to improve the plot, characters and scenes, as well as show you how to craft vibrant and effective language so that your story comes alive for readers. 

 

You'll continue writing your manuscript with enthusiasm and confidence, bringing your work to the next level: a high quality, professional publication.
