✦ Signature Service ✦
The Human
Layer
You used AI tools in your drafting process. Maybe you’re not sure you want to admit that out loud. You don’t have to. I don’t care how the words got there — I care whether they’re working.
This is a dedicated editorial pass for AI-assisted manuscripts. No lectures. No judgment. Just honest, skilled feedback from a publishing indie author who lives in the same real world you do.
Flat rate — up to 80,000 words
- Voice consistency check — where did it stop sounding like you
- AI pattern flags — flat interiority, overused transitions, tell-heavy beats
- Structural gut-check — does the story hold together end to end
- Judgment-free notes — honest, kind, and actually useful
