“Thank you for the trouble you took to give my novel a close read and to write a comprehensive report. Your feedback is invaluable and after been stuck for more than a year, can now see a way forward. You were generous with your time and talents and I appreciate this very much.” ~ Full Manuscript Assessment Client

The first 50 pages of your manuscript is a commonly requested amount to submit to a publisher, agent or literary competition.
- Your first chapter is important. Is it enough to keep people reading?
- The first three chapters are maybe even more crucial. By the end of the first three chapters, you’ll either have hooked your reader or not. If it’s a literary VIP reading it, those first three chapters are the most you’ll get out of their attention before they give up.
- And the first fifty pages? If the VIP has read all the way to that point, they’re interested. If the first fifty pages just keep on getting better, that’s gold. If the first fifty pages has them dying to know what will happen next, even better.
If you have been lucky enough to be invited to send the first 50 pages in, you don’t want to waste that shot.

* “lifetime membership” and “lifetime invitation” means for the duration of the time that I am offering these services… which is hopefully many years
**Please note that my assessment does not include editing services. Editing is an entirely different process. This means, I do not fix your words, sentences, paragraphs, typos, spelling, punctuation or grammar. (Having said that, it is highly likely I will pull out sections of text to demonstrate how you could improve your writing style and fluency.)

I can’t wait to help you reach your dreams!
