    It is recommended an assessment be undertaken to assess the whole manuscript, which will give you a full briefing on the book, covering story flow, characterisation, pace, strengths and weaknesses, what type of edit will be required, and whether any re-writing may be necessary.

    If you would like to organise a full assessment, including a full report, of your manuscript, you may go directly to Manuscript Assessment for details on assessment structure, and submit your manuscript directly for an assessment report. The requirements for the assessment are the same as for manuscript submission, except that you send the whole manuscript and not just a sample. There is a small fee for this service.

    In most cases, professional editing is required to polish the manuscript and, providing you send us a varied sample, we can assess the level of editing that will be necessary during your review submission. 

    We look forward to being able to help you on your path to publishing your book.
