Manuscript Assessment and Editing


"Jeffrey Davis is a superb editor. Draft by draft, he tracks the writer's intentions in such a nuanced, multi-faceted way that the end result feels miraculously fresh and yet somehow fully intended. [I] could not find a more capable and caring guide."


- Keith Kachtick, Hungry Ghost (HarperCollins)


Sometimes you need another perspective - and you may need it quickly. I offer prompt, professional, and reliable editing services for both aspiring and seasoned writers as well as for businesses.


I and my team base our edits on sound principles depending upon the genre and project. Some edits include a personalized multi-page editorial letter, a copy sheet that follows The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.), and a telephone or face-to-face conference.


Manuscript Evaluation

Receive an in-depth, multi-paged assessment of your manuscript's potential to be marketed, its readiness for a commercial publisher, as well as your strengths and weaknesses as a writer.


Global Critque

Receive a multi-paged review of such genre-specific facets as development of main ideas, structural and thematic development, characterization and character arc, style, and more.


Manuscript Editing

Errors, overwriting and ambiguity kill a manuscript's chances of being bought. Receive corrections on your manuscript's mechanical and grammatical errors, as well as suggestions to improve clarity, economy, grace, coherence and emphasis.
