Description:
A quick diagnostic before you hit "submit" — or before you send your work to an editor.
This is the same 6-point checklist I run on every manuscript before I start editing: scene vs. summary, show-don't-tell, the flat middle, your opening line, and a final line-level pass. Work through it on your current draft and you'll catch the issues that usually only surface after a rejection — or an editor's notes.
What's inside:
6 diagnostic checkpoints covering structure, craft, and line-level revision
Specific questions for each section
A quick "delete test" to catch a sagging middle before anyone else does
Free to download. Print it, save it, keep it open next to your draft.
