Early feedback, what I call an editorial audit, saves you time and effort.
Why are editorial audits so important?
Early feedback is what your book and business content need to be the best it can be before you invest in getting it edited. Stand out by planning a spectacular book from the start. If you want your writing to create a genuine impact, schedule what I call an editorial audit. In this deep-dive review of your existing content, we analyze and explain whether or not your draft is ready for the final stage in the writing process — a good solid edit.
The early development of your book is critical to its success. To ensure your writing has a solid strategy and structure, our audit consistently sheds fresh light on how to get more out of a final draft. Our expertise is in showing you in detail how to get to the next level. Clients say our professional feedback is “meticulous,” “incredibly valuable,” “honest and fair.” What does your existing manuscript do well? Which elements are missing? Our audit identifies both the goodness and the gaps. Our in-depth analysis provides you with a cohesive and compelling framework from the start.

The Value of Early Feedback
When our authors succeed, we succeed. As editors we are the trusted partners who assess structure and content early in the process, so you know that your book can hold the attention of your readers. Stating your main idea sets the course for creating a genuine impact. Once your audience understands your motivation and passion, your writing will resonate. This is what builds a page-turner.
If you are serious about writing, then we encourage you to get an audit, a critique of your existing manuscript. Maybe several over time. Find out what may be blindsiding or holding you back as a writer. As professional editors, we support you with solid insights to make your book stronger.
