Manuscript Evaluations
Crafting Stories that Sell
Let's face it! You’ve poured your heart, soul, and countless hours into your manuscript. But does your story structure and plotting mirror that passion? For a non-fiction work, is your message cutting through the noise, or is it buried under a structure that loses your reader’s focus?
We writers can get so close to our own work that we oftentimes lose sight of the big picture.
-
Is the pacing dragging in the middle?
-
Do the character archetypes truly resonate their truth?
-
Does the climax and ending deliver on the promises made in Chapter One?
-
Is the argument laid out clearly and is the supporting evidence solid enough to influence the reader in the way you intend?
As a published author of five novels with strong reader ratings, and another eight non-fiction books, I know exactly what it takes to shape a story that grabs readers and doesn't let go. And as a life-long educator and teacher, I don't just teach theory—I execute it every day. I know how to break the big stuff apart, how to present it in bite-size chunks, and how to create roadmaps for success.
