Revision Review for Authors
A second look after revision to see what changed, what improved, what still needs work, and whether the changes created new problems.
Did the revision actually fix the problems?
Authors who have revised from beta, assessment or developmental feedback and want another informed read.
WHAT WE LOOK AT- Whether the main problems were addressed
- How the new draft reads compared with the earlier version
- New issues caused by the changes
- Improvements in character, pacing, structure and payoff
- What still needs attention
- Focused revision assessment
- What improved and what remains
- Reader comparison between drafts
- Remaining priorities
- Suggested next step
- Automatic line-by-line rewriting
- A complete new developmental edit unless separately commissioned
- Proofreading
We start with what happened while we were reading.
Where did we lean in, hesitate, get confused or lose interest?
What scene, line, choice or piece of information caused that reaction?
Was it one rough spot, or does the same thing happen elsewhere?
We look past the symptom and consider the story, character, pacing or prose issue underneath it.
Which problem is worth tackling first, and which can wait?
You decide what stays and what changes. Our job is to give you a clear second opinion.
Make sure you are getting the kind of help you actually need.
If the manuscript is still changing, a reader may be more useful than an editor. If something feels wrong but you cannot find the cause, an assessment may be the better starting point. If the story is settled and the prose is the concern, line or copy editing may make more sense.
