Manuscript assessments help bring focus to an overwhelming revision process.

 

Not sure what type of editing you need next? Manuscript assessments can help identify opportunities to improve your book and develop clearer, more compelling writing. Learn more below about what I can do for your manuscript, and get in touch to get started.

I now offer manuscript assessments for independent authors through Spoonbridge Press. (Science fiction is my main area of interest, but I am happy to work with nonfiction and some other genres of fiction.)

Praise from Past Clients

I’m absolutely delighted with your work on this. It’s exactly what I hoped for—an attention to both the large and detailed inconsistencies in the story that I’d missed, and an excellent learning experience in terms of understanding what my particular quirks are as a writer. You’re very talented to be able to do this!

Holly CaveScience Fiction Author, The Generation

Working with Sarah was easily the best professional decision I made as an upstart author, and I can say that her input gave me the confidence to go on and publish. Not only can I say that working with her helped me craft a better story, it also made me a better writer.

Robert LanganScience fiction author (The Icons of Man)

I really appreciate all your hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed your input and the areas where you asked me to clarify or show you more. I miss a lot of that when I’m trying to finish a book and it was nice to have someone point out opportunities to give things a second look.

Eric CattaniScience Fiction Author, Winter Nova Saves the World

I chose Sarah as an editor based on her love of science fiction. What I got was a professional partner who came to the project with a high level of skill, editing knowledge, and developmental insight that made my manuscript publication-ready. Sarah turned out to be exactly what I was seeking in an editor: knowledgeable about the rules, gentle enough to allow my voice to shine through, and always willing to keep the story in mind.
