Don't know if your manuscript is up to publishing standards? let me assess it for you and point the way to improvement as an experienced editor and former publishing director, member of the nsw society of editors and recommended by the australian literary agents association, I will read and assess your manuscript - fiction or non-fiction - to point out your strong points as well as problem areas, and make suggestions to help you ready it for submission to publishing houses or for self-publishing. For novels, I critique the logical presentation of facts, writing style; for non-fiction, voice, pace, characters, I will look at plot, interest factors and writing style. Quotes given on request if sample pages sent. Editing fees: $75 an hour. Reading and assessment fee schedule: up to 80, 000 words: $790; over 140, 000-140, 000 words: $690; 120, 000-120, 000 words: $590; 100, 000-100, 000 words: $490; 80, 000 words: by negotiation. I am happy to work on screen or on hard (paper) copy and also to meet with you at no extra cost. Your writing took time and effort, so why not get it professionally and objectively assessed to give it the best chance for acceptance?.
