10 Pages Critique
$147 – Delivered in 3 Days
Your Opening Pages Are a Job Interview. Are You Getting the Job?
Readers, agents, and editors decide within the first few pages whether they trust you enough to keep going. Not at chapter three. Not at the midpoint. Page one.
That’s a high-stakes first impression, and most writers don’t know if they’re making it or blowing it.
The 10 Pages Critique is a deep diagnostic on your opening. I’ll tell you whether your first pages are doing the job they need to do: establishing your authority, signaling who this book is for, making the implicit promise clear, and giving readers a reason to keep going. Included with that is a 20-minute follow-up call to discuss your following steps.
You’ll get clear, direct feedback on:
✔️ What’s landing and what’s falling flat
✔️ How to sharpen your hook and build momentum fast
✔️ Where the pacing, voice, or clarity could lose a reader
✔️ What to revise so readers (and agents) keep turning pages
What You Get
✔️ In-line comments with specific suggestions
✔️A short summary of key strengths and revision priorities
✔️Actionable edits rather than vague advice or sugarcoated notes
Start strong, stand out, and make those first 10 pages count.
Developmental Editing
Turn Your Draft into a Book That Actually Works
If you’ve got the draft, now it’s time to make sure it hits with clarity, structure, and purpose.
Developmental Editing shapes your raw material into something powerful and readable. I’ll help you figure out what’s working, what’s not, and exactly how to fix it.
For Nonfiction:
I help you define the book’s thesis, promise, or main takeaway, ensuring that every chapter clearly supports that core idea. I evaluate whether the chapters are in the right order and suggest restructuring sections for better logic, momentum, or emotional impact. I also identify gaps where new sections, stories, or explanations are needed.
What You Get:
✔️ Highlights where pacing slows down or becomes repetitive.
✔️ Suggested transitions that help the reader move smoothly from idea to idea.
✔️ Suggestions to ensure the writing is geared toward your audience
✔️ Suggestions to clarify for unclear reasoning or weak evidence
✔️ Marks anything that’s off-topic, redundant, or diluting the message.
✔️ Suggestions on where to cut anything that’s repetitive
✔️ notes or chapter summaries highlighting strengths and weaknesses.
✔️ A thinking partner, not just an editor
✔️ Actionable inline comments that don’t just say what’s wrong, but how to fix it
✔️ A deep-dive editorial letter with clear next steps
✔️ A 60-minute strategy call so you leave with direction
