Manuscript evaluation

Congratulations on completing your fiction manuscript! Now that you’ve taken the most significant step, you can receive a detailed evaluation encompassing plot structure, character development, pacing, and more. 

I go beyond surface-level observations, providing in-depth feedback to help you enhance every aspect of your narrative.

  • Receive feedback on character depth, growth, and relatability to ensure your readers form a meaningful connection.
  • Access constructive feedback on your writing style, preserving your voice while refining clarity.
  • Walk away with a roadmap for improvement. My evaluation includes actionable suggestions and strategies to implement positive changes.

Testimonials


“Working with Lola on my debut novel, Brimstones and Rainbows: Memoirs of a Child Bride, was an absolute pleasure. She is truly a skilled wordsmith and editor who knows her onions. I loved every aspect of working with her, from her attention to detail to working within a structured timeline.

Guess who I contacted for my debut poetry collection, Emerging? She’s that good, and I will choose her again.”

— Ololade Akintoye, Author
