Manuscript Review

This service is for anyone who’s completed the first draft of a novel or script and wants an expert opinion on their work.

It’s suitable if you:

• Have completed a novel or short story collection and want to know how to take it to the next stage
• Have completed a treatment, scene by scene or the first draft of a screen, stage or radio play and want to know if it’s ready to send to agents
• Haven’t quite finished your first draft, but are almost there and want advice on whether it’s going in the right direction and what you need to do to finish it
• Feel your manuscript is ready to send out, but need an expert option and advice on how add the finishing touches to make it stand out
• Want honest advice from a supportive reviewer who understands your challenges because they once faced them themselves

We tailor our manuscript review service to your writing and what you’re hoping to achieve.

We’ll pair you with a writer or editor who has experience in the same genre or field of writing as you, and who has the knowledge and insight to give you clear feedback on your writing. They’ll read your manuscript and send you a detailed written report, suggesting practical ways to remedy elements that don’t quite work and indicating how you might develop your ideas further. You will also have a follow-up Zoom call with your reviewer.
