Editorial Assessment

What is an editorial assessment?

An editorial assessment is a detailed overview of each element of your book, including plot, characterisation, structure, style, consistency, etc. The feedback, including any developmental advice, is delivered via a summary report.

  • In-depth report
  • Focus on big-picture elements
  • Notes on plot, style, characters, etc.
  • Includes optional video call

When to get an editorial assessment?

Because the editorial assessment focuses on the big-picture elements of your book, the report is most suitable for early drafts or authors who doubt if their book is cohesive or logical.

Unlike a developmental edit, the editorial assessment book editor service doesn’t include manuscript line editing. For this reason, it is also the more affordable developmental book editing service.
