Manuscript Appraisals

Beyond Words Literary Agency is committed to helping new authors develop their skills and their manuscripts. Through our manuscript appraisal service, we hope to inspire, educate and motivate writers of all genres to bring out the best in their story. We offer this service as a pre-requisite to representation and/or editing also. 

A manuscript appraisal will tell you if your manuscript is ready for representation and ready to be sent to publishers, or if it still needs work. Remember, you only get one chance with publishers, so make sure you are sending your manuscript in its best possible form. This could be the best investment you ever make.

Editing - structural, copy & line

​​​

Editing can make or break a manuscript, and before you send any work to a publisher, it should be edited by a professional. 

​

Just email your manuscript and we will provide a quotation based on the amount of work required. Your manuscript may be a completed first/second/third draft, and it might only be a few chapters so far! Either way, we would love to help you bring it to life, polish it, and most importantly, teach you the skills to produce your own amazing works in the future.

 

We will read the entire manuscript, then go back through and make suggestions on plot, structure, themes, characterisation, links to current topics, marketability and more. We will also fix spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors along the way.

 

Once your manuscript has been edited by us, it will be polished and ready for submission to publishers.

Testimonials...

Working with Fiona to edit my junior fiction manuscript was a terrific experience. As I was changing genres as an author, I found her structural edit incredibly helpful in clarifying the audience and shaping the manuscript to reflect this. Fiona is generous with her time and talks through her ideas, ensuring the best result can be achieved throughout the editing process. Fiona has helped me to bring out the best in my story and I highly recommend her services to any writer needing editorial support.
