THE STORY WHISPERER   MANUSCRIPT REPORTS


THE STORY WHISPERER™ BOOK OPENER MANUSCRIPT REPORT: The Book Opener Manuscript Report gives you expert review of and feedback on the first 15,000 words of your novel or work of narrative nonfiction. In both forms, the importance of the book’s opening can’t be overstated. Yet given that you must “grab” the reader, establish context and backstory, introduce the protagonist and set up key story elements in a short sequence of pages, it’s also challenging to get the opening right. Knowledgeable and objective feedback on this material can help you get the opening right, giving you a solid foundation for later revision; in addition, it can often pinpoint issues that may pose challenges in later segments of the book. 

Based on a thorough reading of your material as well as our knowledge of the life narrative marketplace generally and books comparable to yours in particular, the detailed 8-10 page report we provide addresses the manuscript’s strengths and opportunities, weaknesses and challenges. Characterization, point(s) of view, use of elements such as dialogue and flashback, clarity of narrative setup, opportunities to more fully engage the reader, and weaknesses that may pose problems here or in later pages are among the issues often covered, but the focus for this fully personalized report is shaped by your own pages. Our goal is to provide clear, concrete, and actionable steps you can take to maximize the impact of your book and the ease and confidence you feel creating it.

In addition to the written report, you receive a 45-minute phone consultation, scheduled within 30 days of the delivery of your report, at which you can ask any questions that arise from our response and suggestions.

Cost for THE STORY WHISPERER™ BOOK OPENER MANUSCRIPT REPORT is $695.00. 







THE STORY WHISPERER™ FULL MANUSCRIPT REPORT: THE STORY WHISPERER™ Full Manuscript Report gives you expert review of and feedback on your novel or narrative nonfiction draft in its entirety. In addition to the items and issues covered in the Book Opener Report, this full-manuscript review allows us to assess the structure of the middle and ending as well as the opening pages; look at pacing, pauses, and chapter and other breaks; use of elements such as viewpoint, backstory/flashback, dialogue, and more; and, if you desire, address opportunities and challenges for the book in the current publishing marketplace. As always, our Report is designed to provide clear and actionable next steps.

In addition to the written report, you receive a single 90-minute phone consultation, scheduled within 30 days of the delivery of your report, at which you can ask any questions that arise from our response and suggestions.
