A comprehensive template to help you structure and write your manuscript critiques or developmental editing reports.

It’s easily customisable using Word’s styles, so you can add your branding at the touch of a few buttons.
Why use a template …?
1. Save time
This template will streamline your critiquing process by providing a framework and jumping-off point so you don’t have to start writing and designing your document from scratch every time.
2. Ensure comprehensive feedback
A template helps you cover all key areas of a novel, making sure no critical aspect is overlooked in your feedback. This one even includes some boilerplate explanations of common issues.
3. Improve client comprehension
A well-structured report means your feedback is clear and easy to process. Clients are more likely to understand complex points, which in turn helps them feel more positively about your suggestions and more likely to be able to take effective action.
4. Increase your professionalism
Using a well-organised template gives your deliverable a polished, structured appearance, reinforcing your professionalism. It shows clients that the feedback is thoughtful, methodical and delivered with attention to detail.
5. Increase profits
Hand-in-hand with saving time, you’ll be able to work more quickly, therefore increasing your hourly rate. As well as that, a professional-looking document with clear, comprehensive feedback can help you feel confident in charging what your service is worth.
Note: This is for novels (fiction). The template is also available inside the Developmental Editing: In Practice course, so you don’t need to buy it again if you have purchased that course.
