Literary Consultancy
Got a specific writing project complete or near completion, and need feedback on how it's looking? My literary consultancy services provide detailed feedback reports and advice to help you improve your work.
My role as a literary consultant is to help you ensure that your manuscript is as good as it can possibly be, before you consider sending it to a publisher or agent, or (in the case of play manuscripts) commissioning theatres. I read your work, annotate your manuscript, and provide a detailed written report outlining my comments and suggestions. I help you to identify the strengths of your work and any areas for further development. As a literary consultant, my aim is to help you to look at your work with a fresh eye and to give you a realistic assessment of your manuscript’s qualities.
