Don’t spend your money on line editing until you know your story is the best it can be. If you’ve done all you can on your own and with other readers, but you’re just not sure what to do next or where to focus your revisions, a fiction editorial assessment can bring clarity, perspective, and confidence in your next steps.
Science Fiction Editorial Assessments
I now offer science fiction editorial assessments exclusively through Spoonbridge Press. To get started, follow the link below to let us know you’re interested in an editorial assessment from me. My partner and project manager, Britt, will follow up with you right away with next steps.
After being so close to a manuscript for so long, with so many old and new ideas spinning around in your head, the right path forward can be hard to discern. An editorial assessment gives you an objective, outside look at where you’re hitting the mark and where you might find opportunities for improvement, helping you develop new ways to shape your manuscript into the best possible version of itself.
With every genre, and especially science fiction, readers carry their own expectations into the book. With an editorial assessment, I’ll target the areas with the most room for improvement and offer deeper feedback on story, characters, pacing, and language. Think of it like a “light developmental edit” as a separate editorial memo, without the edits to the manuscript itself.
An editorial assessment gives you valuable insight into your own writing process, which makes you a better writer. That insight can help you bring a better developed, more polished manuscript to your line editor, which can lead to more affordable, more effective editing.
Many new authors know they could launch their writing to new heights if they only had feedback and direction. Using examples from your own writing, I’ll help prompt you with grammatical tweaks, narrative tricks, and other tools you may not have considered. Whatever your editorial challenges, I’ll help you determine what you’re doing well and help identify opportunities to tell a more gripping and immersive story.
