Tinker of Writs-Fantasy Fiction Editing

Example

Evaluating the flow of a manuscript to ensure it adheres to established story beats, such as the Inciting Incident, Crisis, and Climax, thereby guiding authors to structure their narratives effectively.

Scenario

In a manuscript where the pacing feels off, Tinker of Writs could identify that the 'All is Lost' moment arrives too early, recommending adjustments to extend the buildup and maintain tension.

Example

Assisting authors in crafting well-rounded, dynamic characters by focusing on their arcs, motivations, and growth throughout the story.

Scenario

For a character lacking clear evolution, Tinker of Writs might suggest incorporating a 'Dark Night of the Soul' moment to deepen the character's journey and enhance their transformation.

Example

Ensuring the story's themes are clearly presented and woven throughout the narrative, aligning with character development and plot progression.

Scenario

If a manuscript's theme of 'redemption' feels disjointed, Tinker of Writs could propose ways to more effectively integrate this theme through recurring motifs or pivotal character decisions.

Example

Polishing the manuscript's language for clarity, conciseness, and engagement, including grammar, punctuation, and stylistic elements.

Scenario

For prose that's overly verbose or complex, Tinker of Writs might recommend simplifying language to improve readability and immersion.
