It's an honest look at whether your manuscript is publish-ready. We are checking if the story is ready to be enjoyed seamlessly. Is there a gap in the timelines? An unexplained confusion? A loose end?
In this call, we assess what will take the manuscript to the next step along the publishing cycle. I'll help you gauge questions such as:
How much editing or proof-checking is needed
Will multiple edits be needed? [Is starting with one chapter pertinent?]
Is interest getting hooked readily?
