What’s the difference between a Manuscript Evaluation and a Beta Reader Feedback?

A Manuscript Evaluation is an editorial service — I look at your story’s structure, pacing, character arcs, and give professional, craft-based feedback with a revision strategy.
Beta Reader Feedback is a reader’s-eye view — you get honest, emotional reactions from someone reading your story cold, without line editing or craft critique.

When does the turnaround clock start?

Turnaround time begins once I’ve received all your materials and confirmed your booking. If anything’s missing, I’ll reach out to clarify before the clock starts ticking.

How do I submit my materials?

After you book, you’ll receive a short intake form and instructions to upload your manuscript or outline (Google Docs or Word format preferred). Easy!

Will you edit my pages or just give feedback?

Most services are focused on big-picture feedback (not line edits), delivered via an editorial letter. If you’d like inline margin comments (comments directly in your manuscript), you can add that as an optional upgrade during checkout.

What genres do you work with?

I specialize in fiction, especially:

• Fantasy (including African and diaspora-inspired fantasy)

• Contemporary and literary fiction

• Speculative fiction

• Young adult (YA) and crossover

  If you're unsure, feel free to send me a message before booking!

What if I need feedback faster than the listed turnaround?

Check out the VIP 5-Day Feedback service for rush feedback on your manuscript. If you need something else expedited, email me first — I can sometimes open a rush slot for an additional fee.

Can I book now but send my manuscript later?

Yes! You can reserve your spot on the calendar and submit your materials closer to your confirmed start date — just let me know your timeline in the intake form.
