Manuscript Appraisals
I currently offer manuscript appraisals for both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts.
In the case of fiction manuscripts, I give a 10-15 page in-depth report on the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, including narrative, characterisation, dialogue, plot, point of view, style, structure and themes.
For non-fiction manuscripts, I give a 10-15 page in-depth report on form, content, accessibilty of the subject, style, ’voice,’ and research.
In both cases, I will also correct spelling and grammar and suggest possible changes where there is a need for editing.
If you would like more information regarding my services or you wish to have a Manuscript Appraisal, please fill in the contact form below and tell me why you would like the Appraisal done, a bit about your manuscript (word count, genre, possible target audience etc.) and your plans for having it published.
For a full list of what I charge for editing and appraising manuscripts as well as a list of other services I offer, please refer to the 'Price List' page.
The average time I will take to assess an individual manuscript is 2-3 weeks from the date I receive it.
(Sorry, I do not do appraisals for religious, academic, technical, poetry or children’s books.)
