3,000-Word Diagnostic
A live, microscopic test of your actual writing to test your pacing and verify your voice is landing.
When you are deep in a manuscript, you lose your objectivity. You know exactly what you mean, but you cannot tell if your ideas are actually landing on the page.
A one-time edit leaves you with a long list of problems to fix by yourself. The 3,000-Word Diagnostic gives you an immediate, live check on a single chapter to catch structural drift and bottlenecks before you waste months writing down a dead end.
We go straight into your actual text to audit your execution and fix mechanics in real time, giving you a clear sense of how to sharpen your prose moving forward.
What’s included
Detailed review of up to 3,000 words of your active prose
Meticulous micro-diagnostic of your writing mechanics and pacing
Identification of structural blocks or narrative bottlenecks
Real-time course correction and strategic next steps for your text
