Developmental evaluation.

It's a cost-effective way to have your manuscript evaluated. The Read & Report is chapter-by-chapter commentary on the readability of the story from the reader's point of view. It will identify any fundamental weakness and give a sense of whether the story is working.  The report will help you understand the why as well as the what. Editing is an investment in time and money. The read and report will give you an outsider's opinion to help you formulate that decision.
