Story Compass (Manuscript Assessment)

You’ve finished your manuscript, but something still isn’t quite clicking.

Story Compass gives you a clear, big-picture view of your cosy crime novel. I’ll look at the mystery, the clues, the suspects, characters, pacing and the overall reading experience, so you can see what’s working well, what needs another look and what to tackle first.

You’ll get thoughtful feedback and a clear route into your next revision.

Story Deep-Dive (Full Developmental Edit)

Sometimes you want to go deeper.

A full developmental edit takes a closer look at your manuscript, exploring how the different parts of your story are working together and where there are opportunities to make them stronger.

You’ll receive detailed editorial feedback throughout, alongside in-manuscript comments and guidance to help you approach your next draft with more clarity.
