MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION SERVICE: Read
Through and Written Analysis
We are not agents. We help people find agents
and publishers. If you want help to find an agent or publisher for
your book, here is where we begin:
1. Contact
us and ask for our application form. You will receive
an introductory letter, rate sheet, and confidentiality agreement,
along with the application.
2. We had 150 people contact us in a very short span
of time, all of whom wanted us to find agents and publishers for
their books. We were working 60-hour weeks trying to keep up with
all the manuscripts coming through our door. Out of necessity, we
had to create this application form to make our workload more manageable.
Our small non-refundable deposit fee of $150 ensures that only the
people who are really serious about having us work with their projects
request an application.
3. When we receive your application and deposit, we
will begin to glance through various parts of your manuscript so
that we can put together a plan for what your manuscript needs.
We will then get back to you with an estimate for the amount of
time we believe it will take to thoroughly read your manuscript,
take copious notes, and provide a comprehensive written analysis
of it so that you can strengthen the parts that are weak or write
in the parts that are missing. This analysis is very detailed and
examples and suggestions are given so that you will know how to
fix many of the problems your manuscript might have.
If you wish to proceed, you will send payment to cover
the estimated time for the Read Through and Written Analysis and
the editor will begin the work. Any time that was not used to create
your plan from the original non-refundable deposit can be applied
toward the manuscript read through and written analysis.
The Read Through and Written Analysis is absolutely
necessary before we shop a book to a literary agent or publisher.
This process informs us as to whether or not we believe your project
has the potential to sell. We don't believe in ever wasting anyone's
time or money. We will be honest with you so that you can create
your best possible outcome. Our reputation is completely on the
line every time we query a literary agent or publisher. We work
with the best in the business. This means that whenever we query
a literary agent or publisher on your behalf, we must know that
your manuscript meets their rigorous standards.
4. After the manuscript has gone through a Read Through
and Written Analysis, it will go back to you for your rewrites.
5. If it is found to be necessary to edit the manuscript,
we can provide an estimate for editing your work when you've completed
your rewrites. In most instances, editing is necessary.
To begin: ask for our application form and we will
get back to you with our plan and an estimate for the Read Through
and Written Analysis. Contact: Author
