“Thanks to Esther, I was able to take my manuscript to the next level. From the subtitle and back cover
\nto the chapter titles, dialogue, and structure; everything was sharpened. I removed entire chapters, added new ones,

What\u2019s included in your manuscript review?<\/h2>\n
\n

With the experience of writing 30 books<\/a>, coaching hundreds of writers<\/a>, and working as a journalist<\/a>, publisher, self-publisher, and avid reader, I review your manuscript through multiple lenses.<\/p>\n

I read your work with a sharp, strategic eye. The opening chapters get extra attention, because that\u2019s where most readers or publishers decide whether to keep going or put the book down. I focus on:<\/p>\n
