Manuscript Appraisals


Congratulations on completing your manuscript!
You’ve accomplished such an amazing achievement. You should be so proud. Well done!
As a fellow author I know how hard you’ve worked, and I know that you’ve dedicated a lot of time and effort into writing your manuscript. Which is why you deserve to have it assessed by a trustworthy professional that will enhance your work.
If you are sick and tired of unhelpful feedback from beta readers who can’t tell you why a story isn’t working, then I can help you.
My experience and tertiary qualifications have given me the skills to provide feedback that will enhance your work from an editor’s perspective. A manuscript appraisal is a cost-effective service that will benefit your work structurally without having to pay for a structural edit.
I will provide an editorial letter that will appraise the strengths and weaknesses of your story in these major structural areas:
-
Characterisation
-
Plot
-
Theme
-
Genre
-
If there are other structural issues that fall outside of the above categories such as dialogue, pacing, setting, style, point of view, I will also address it in the letter.
Prices
For works that are up to 90,000 words the price is capped at $720 AUD. For any works that are 91,000-120,000 the price is capped at $920 AUD.
Lead time
Can be up to two weeks, depending on the needs of the manuscript.
