The 3-Chapter Check-In
Early feedback to identify issues early
Kemend’s 3-Chapter Check-In provides early manuscript feedback for fiction and non-fiction authors, highlighting recurring issues in structure, style and clarity at an early stage.
Do you want to make your manuscript the best it can be – without committing to a full proofread/proof-edit just yet?
The 3-Chapter Check-In is a low-cost, focused review of three chapters to help you identify recurring issues early.
You’ll receive clear, easy-to-follow feedback – no jargon, no pressure.
It’s perfect if you want to catch issues early and save time – and money – later in the process.
You’ll see how I work, gain insight into your writing habits, and receive feedback you can apply across your manuscript.
A note on timing:
Proofreading is usually the final stage after copyediting, but this early Check-In gives your chapters the same level of care and attention I would apply to a full proofread/proof-edit – helping you spot issues as you go and strengthen your writing along the way.
What’s Included:
A detailed proofread of 3 chapters (approx. 6,000 words)
Full corrections for grammar, spelling, and punctuation
Clear, easy-to-follow feedback – no jargon
Optional links and resources to support your writing decisions
Style Guide outlining editorial decisions for consistency
Why It’s Worth It:
Identify and correct common issues early
Strengthen your writing ahead of an edit/ full proofread
Learn patterns you can fix yourself as you go
Build confidence in your manuscript
Save time – and money – later in the process
