Manuscript Evaluation

Provides assessments of all genres except children's books, science-fiction and poetry.

It is our aim to provide authors with an assessment that will help them to develop the manuscript to a professional standard acceptable to an agent or publisher.

The assessor's report will include:

• General comment on the genre, tone and structure of the work.
• Strengths and weaknesses - both from the literary and commercial aspect.
• Comments on spelling, punctuation and grammar.
• Market potential.
• Checklist of what to include in a proposal to an agent or publisher.

NOTE: Manuscript submissions to be made in hard copy only.

The manuscript must be an original, unpublished work by an author over the age of 18.
A stamped, self-addressed envelope must be included for the return of the manuscript. Payment must accompany the submission.

The privacy of the author is paramount and no copies of the work will be retained after the report has been issued.

The assessors are independent, experienced editors and their identity will remain confidential.
