Here’s what a manuscript audit covers:
1. A complete read-through of your manuscript and/or notes. I read what you have so far, including chapters, outlines, and notes. (It’s fine if it’s generated by an LLM.)
2. A written diagnosis. A clear, honest breakdown of what’s working, what should be restructured, and what’s missing for reader clarity. I’m not ChatGPT, so I won’t tell you everything is perfect and send you on your way. An audit is specific and actionable, so you can improve your final book. It’s a human assessment by an editor with 20 years in the business.
3. A roadmap to the finish. It includes “here’s what to do first, second, third, and a realistic timeline to get this done.” Want to see one in action? Download a sample manuscript audit from my Get Ghostwriting site.
4. A 30-minute debrief call. I send you the audit, give you a few days to review it, then we go through your questions together. After that, you can revise on your own schedule or I’m available at an hourly consultation rate.
The audit is delivered in 5 business days. $500 investment. I only work on two manuscript audits per month, to give each project individual attention. Fill out the form to check availability.
