Frequently Asked Questions

  • An impartial, targeted assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript by an industry expert. The report will highlight key areas for further development and offer tailored advice about market positioning.

    A manuscript assessment is not a structural edit, copyedit or proofread.

  • No. I can offer advice on improving your manuscript, but I can’t help you with the submission process itself.

  • My word count limits are based on industry standards. If your manuscript is too long, it’s possible that you haven’t targeted it to the appropriate readership. If you’re still interested in an assessment, feel free to email me and I’ll let you know if I’m able to help.

  • No, sorry. I’m not offering editing services at the moment.
