Manuscript Appraisal

Commission a one-off appraisal, use the initial input as the first stage within a longer-term mentoring process or take a pick and mix approach.

We work with writers at all levels and stages of development. Whether you are already published or just starting out, our goal is to offer you an objective overview of your manuscript and a strategy for improvement. We aim to pitch appraisals appropriately. Published writers can rely on an informed opinion from an experienced writer in their field; emerging writers appreciate a more step-by-step approach. We offer practical guidance in various forms, covering everything from the strength of the core idea, through to full realisation and packaging (synopsis and cover letter).

Manuscript appraisal is our core service. It is available both as a stand-alone document and as part of an extended programme. Follow-up/feedback comes as standard.

Appraisal Package

If you would like to discuss your work in detail, we recommend that you supplement your appraisal with a structured one-hour consultation. (Availability varies. Usually consultations are conducted by phone, though one-to-one meetings or Skype may also be an option.)
