Strengthening Your Narrative

​

This service is for writers who have completed their first draft and an initial round of revisions and need an in-depth analysis with actionable feedback to elevate their novel.

​

I provide in-depth feedback on:

​

• Pacing & Flow: Does your story unfold at the right rhythm, or do certain scenes drag while others rush by too quickly? Are you letting moments breathe where needed, or is your reader sprinting through crucial developments?

• Plot & Structure: Do your story beats land with impact, pulling the reader forward naturally? Are twists and turning points earned, or do they feel forced? 

• Character Development: Do your characters feel like real people with layered emotions, believable motivations, and arcs that evolve naturally? Are they making choices that drive the story, or are they being pulled along by the plot?

• Theme & Emotional Impact: What lingers after the last page? Does your story resonate, leaving readers with something to chew on—an idea, a feeling, a question?

• Narrative Voice & Consistency: Is your storytelling voice distinct and immersive, pulling the reader in from the first line? Are you showing rather than telling, letting dialogue, action, and sensory details do the heavy lifting?

• Tension & Stakes: Are the conflicts urgent and personal enough to keep readers turning pages? Is there a sense of risk, whether physical, emotional, or psychological that makes the reader invested in what happens next?

​

You’ll receive a detailed editorial letter with insights, strengths, and actionable steps to elevate your novel. My goal is to help you bring your vision to life while staying true to your unique voice.
