Project details

I am a professional editor and Amazon bestselling author specializing in Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and I will take your initial chapter and produce a manuscript appraisal for you.

It will highlight where your writing is strong and where you have elements you might want to focus more on.

I'll use my extensive experience, working both as a freelancer and for an independent UK Speculative Fiction publisher, to show you how to make your work the best it can be and get it ready to wow readers.

The idea of this manuscript appraisal is to dip your toe in the water of editing/manuscript review at an easy-to-access price point.

From here, you should be happy to continue on your own, knowing where to focus your efforts to improve your writing style best.

Alternatively, it may prompt you to examine my full manuscript appraisal, editing, and proofreading services to improve your entire book from good to great.
