Novel Proofreading & Pace Editing
Pain Points (Public)
Fiction authors with completed 40,000 to 90,000-word manuscripts struggle to balance sentence-level prose refinement with macro-level pacing adjustments before typesetting, frequently lacking a structured way to evaluate narrative flow against formal publishing benchmarks like the Chicago Manual of Style.
Suggested Approach (Public)
Deliver a two-stage manuscript review workflow using Microsoft Word Track Changes: first produce a developmental critique tracking scene pacing and tension across chapters, followed by a granular line edit and proofread adhering to Chicago Manual of Style standards to maximize sentence clarity and rhythm.
