Your story isn't broken. But something isn't working — and you can feel it.
Fiction Clinic delivers a clear, professional analysis of your manuscript or outline: what's working, what isn't, and the two or three things most worth your attention before you write another word.
No rewrites. No line edits. No coaching sessions. Just an honest diagnostic, delivered as a PDF you can return to again and again.
What you receive
A complete story diagnostic.
- ⬡ Big-Picture Structure Analysis How your story is built — act structure, narrative arc, and whether the bones hold.
- ⬡ Character Clarity Feedback Are your characters distinct, motivated, and doing the work your story needs them to do?
- ⬡ Stakes Evaluation What does your protagonist stand to lose — and does the reader feel it?
- ⬡ Pacing Observations Where your story breathes, where it drags, and where it rushes past what matters.
- ⬡ 1–2 Actionable Revision Strategies Not a to-do list — the one or two moves most likely to unlock the rest.
Submission scope: Up to 5,000 words of manuscript — or a detailed outline. Fiction only. All genres welcome.
A note on what this isn't
Fiction Clinic does not rewrite your work, correct your grammar, or edit your prose. It does not tell you what your story should be. It reads what you've written — or planned — and tells you clearly and honestly what it sees.
What you do with that is entirely yours.
