Your story, as told by your readers

Let’s see how it works

1. Consultation call

Every reader brings their own perspective to a manuscript. I’m happy to schedule a 15 minute chat with you to make sure our interests and goals align.

Get started

2. Full report on your novel

Your report will contain four sections: plot, characters, themes, and style. Expect an encouraging, honest, and detailed report with clear suggestions for strengthening your novel.

Get started

3. Final brainstorm

Receiving feedback on your novel can be overwhelming. I’ve found that a 30 minute follow-up call can be helpful for writers who have lingering concerns (or fresh new ideas) about their novel.

Get a comprehensive report on your novel

You will receive your report within a week of sending me your manuscript. Your report will contain an analysis of your novel broken down into four sections: plot, characters, themes, and style. I will also summarize my report in a list of top-priority issues. Though I always make an effort to point out what I loved about your work, this report should give you lots of inspiration to grow.

  • Catch plot holes and character weaknesses
  • Smooth out tics in your writing style
  • Manuscript returned with comments in text

Previous clients say

I just read your summary. LOVE IT because it is sympatico with the direction I want to go. I feel renewed and ready to tackle this direction. This is exactly what I needed!!! I was feeling overwhelmed and felt I had strayed off from my initial thoughts and feelings of where I wanted the manuscript to go.

Mallory will be remembered for the remainder of my life due to her alignment with my work. From the very beginning, I knew she would be just what I needed to take my writing to the next level. She never hesitated to tell me how I could improve and that's what I respected and admired most from her. Her communication and availability was stellar and I can't think of a single moment/interaction that had bothered me throughout our work together.

The best part about working with Mallory is how she balances critical feedback (crucial) with positivity (nice to hear what works too). She caught lots of errors as well as bigger trends. All in all, I really liked Mallory and would definitely hire again!
