Article or Chapter Evaluation

A deep engagement with your article or chapter in order to provide general feedback on general argument, narrative, style etc., as well as more specific feedback about particular sections or elements. 

Successful writing is consistent across levels - from the big idea to the details, like word choice and sentence composition. With this service, I’ll dive deep into your work to ensure that the writing itself supports the argument you want to make, and connects with the audience you envision.

In doing this, I will provide you with both high-level feedback on your general argument, evidence, narrative, structure, voice, and style, as well as mid-level feedback about specific sections and important details. In other words, I’ll work on both the level of ideas and the level of language. While this feedback typically takes the form of margin notes, it can also involve actual revision of the text, to an extent.

 

What You’ll Get:

  • A short letter conveying broad feedback about improving your general argument, evidence, narrative, structure, voice, and style.

  • A Word document with margin comments and in-text track changes, that identifies specific challenges, explains what effect they may have on readers, and makes concrete suggestions for revision.

 
 

This service takes approximately 5-8 hours for a single chapter or article and should be booked in advance if possible. Smaller projects are charged by the hour at a rate of $80/hour.
