An editorial assessment is an overview made by a professional editor. Here, the editor gives your manuscript thoughtful, in-depth feedback concerning elements such as plot, characterization, structure, consistency, and style.

A beta-reader gives you input in your finished-up manuscript, so you will be able to make the appropriate changes before releasing it to the world.

I decided to join these services because, as an editor, it is complicated to overview the book with only a reader’s perspective. I will always notice the little details that most readers don’t.

   What can you expect from a Beta-Reading/Editorial Assessment?

   A Full Story Analysis, which includes:

• Arcs,
• Plot holes,
• Pace,
• Character Development,
• Removal of Clichés,
• Help with POV issues,
• Consistency,
• Style,
• Structure,
• SUGGESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO FIX WHAT IS NOT WORKING.

  Be aware that I give VERY HONEST FEEDBACK. I’m always polite about it, but I’m not going to sugarcoat if there is an issue with the story. If something doesn’t make sense with the plotlines, if something is unreal in the dynamic of the characters, if there is a detail that’s amiss, be assured that I WILL tell you about it.
