- Manuscript Assessment Services -

 

 

Your manuscript needs to be in the best possible shape it can be to have any chance of being accepted by an agent or a publisher in this highly competitive field. Especially works of fiction! You, the writer, need to give yourself every advantage to land that publishing deal, and not end up on the dreaded 'slush pile'.

Having your manuscript read and assessed by a professional appraisal service is a major step toward producing that polished and saleable product.

And writing is a product, a commodity. All publishers - whether it be books, magazines or newspapers - are in the business of making money. If they make money you, the writer, makes money. As much as we writers write for the love of creativity, publishers publish to make money. That's the bottom line. You need to produce a polished, professional and saleable piece of writing so that you and the publisher can have a financially beneficial relationship.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Service To You

We will read and assess your manuscript and give you an honest critique of your work. Our assessment will highlight the good qualities in your writing, as well as pointing out the areas where your manuscript can be improved upon. You will receive advice on whether your manuscript is in a saleable condition, whether the concept is marketable and comments on your writing ability. We can even help you to approach agents and publishers, help you formulate book proposals, or write a synopsis or query letter.

Testimonials

I received the assessment of my novel after 3 weeks and, after considering it, found the assessment of my work to be very fair and right on the money. Following the advice of my critique, I applied the necessary changes to my manuscript and submitted it to several literary agents. Within a month I was signing a contract with a large firm in New York.

While I'm still yet to find a publisher for my fantasy novel, I'd highly recommend this writers' service. The critique I received was professional, sympathetic and motivating. I realized I did have something to offer as a writer of fiction, as well as being given much needed insight into the areas where I needed to improve if I hoped to one day be a published author. The service I received was well worth every cent.

Gary S.

 

If you are really serious about becoming a published writer, you need to use a service like this. The assessment process shortcuts so many things, helping the writer shape his/her work before risking rejection at the publisher's desk. The help I received from this very professional service went a long way toward helping me land my first publishing deal. Why spend years in the endless void wondering how to achieve writing success? This service will help you get there much more quickly with practical guidance and insider insight.
