Reader Assessment: Understanding Your Story Before the First Edit

A second pair of eyes before editing, proofreading, and publishing

See your manuscript from a reader's perspective before taking the next step—gain insights that sharpen storytelling and enhance clarity.


Whether you're crafting an immersive story or a compelling nonfiction work, having an early-stage review can be the difference between good writing and truly impactful writing. My Reader Assessment service provides insightful, objective feedback before formal editing, proofreading and publishing—helping you refine your manuscript while preserving your vision.

As a lifelong reader and professional editor, I approach manuscripts with both storytelling intuition and editorial precision, offering guidance tailored to fiction and nonfiction.

Think of this service as a test audience with an editorial lens, or a chance to refine your work before it undergoes technical revisions. Whether you're telling a story or sharing knowledge, let's proactively eliminate errors before the editing and publishing stages.
