Review of “You Have Greatness in You” book publishing September 2017
Overall the book is in good shape. My revisions focused on correcting misspellings, addressing inconsistencies, and improving the flow of the text. Since you are a well-known writer and speaker, I was very careful to not change your tone or voice wherever possible, while still correcting errors, reducing repetition, changing passive voice to active voice, and ensuring consistency throughout the book’s manuscript.
The overall pacing of the manuscript is solid. Chapters and paragraphs in the manuscript are organized in a logical way that builds and communicates the thesis according to the motivational goals of the book. Chapters are sequenced logically. The table of contents is well organized, and I did not change your chapter sequence.
The tone is appropriate for the subject matter (motivational self-help) and target audience (students), and it is consistent throughout and supports your arguments. I made no edits that would change your tone. I particularly enjoyed the motivational way that you ask questions to readers, for example: “Are there gifts you bring with you to the universe, skills that are lying latent in you waiting to be ignited? This is the time to start manifesting them.
You have wonderful command of pacing in the book manuscript. I truly enjoyed your motivational words, your personable tone, and the real-world examples taken from your own life.
Your story is unique and inspiring.
I hope these comments are valuable in helping the book achieve your publishing goals.
Good luck, and I wish you all the best for this book and future books.
