I read your book the way your best reader will, then leave clear, honest notes in the margin so the next draft is unmistakably yours, only sharper.

  3. Manuscript assessmentA written report on what's working and what to revise first, for when you want direction before a full edit.
  4. Submission package reviewQuery letter, synopsis and opening pages tightened before they go out to agents.
