Turn reviews into a revision pass
Convert broad feedback into a small, ordered set of manuscript changes.
Move from assessment to action
- 1Read the complete review before changing the draft.
- 2Copy the strongest issues into a project note.
- 3Group related fixes by chapter or story problem.
- 4Start with changes that affect later scenes, such as motivation, timeline, or structure.
- 5Save the completed pass, then check the manuscript with a different expert lens if needed.
Resolve contradictions deliberately
Two experts may value different outcomes. When suggestions conflict, return to the premise, intended reader experience, and the purpose of the scene rather than trying to satisfy every comment.
