MANUSCRIPT REVIEW
Stop wondering if your book is “good enough.” Let us give you an expert opinion, some practical advice, and maybe even a glimmer of confidence.
Send us your writing, my pretty.
Order a manuscript review and submit your work for a professional assessment. We’ll read it thoroughly, apply our editorial and publishing knowledge, and give you a detailed report of your manuscript’s strengths, its areas of opportunity, and its readiness for publication.
Manuscript review goes like this:
-
Submit Your Manuscript
Send us what you’ve got, in whatever form you’ve got it in.
(Yes, we know it’s not perfect – that’s the point.)
When you submit your manuscript, we’ll ask you a bunch of questions so you can give us all the context you want.
-
We Read and Digest
Don’t mind us while we kick back with your rough draft! Give us a few days to enjoy your manuscript and assess its strength, weaknesses, and most shining opportunities.
We’ll prepare your report next.
