For writers who have a draft but can’t quite see what the story is doing anymore.
Reverse outlining is a diagnostic editorial process where I break down your existing manuscript scene by scene to identify structural patterns, pacing issues, missing beats, redundancies, character arc gaps, and narrative drift.
Think of it as turning your draft into a blueprint so we can see what’s actually on the page — not just what you intended to write.
This service is especially helpful for:
Messy first drafts - looking at you, fellow pantsers
“Frankenstein” manuscripts assembled over time
Revisions that have lost narrative cohesion
Writers stuck in endless rewrite loops
Projects with pacing or subplot problems
You’ll receive:
A detailed scene-by-scene outline of your manuscript
Structural and pacing analysis
Identification of weak or redundant scenes
Character arc tracking
Notes on tension, stakes, and narrative momentum
Recommendations for revision priorities
Reverse outlining is one of my favorite tools because it transforms revision from overwhelming guesswork into a strategic process. As a discovery writer, it’s a key part of my own narrative process and helping other writers bring order to chaos is a Gremlin specialty.
Starting at $2500.
