After you have received your report, you will then have the opportunity to speak to your editor in a 30-minute phone call. As well as discussing your manuscript further, your editor will also offer suggestions on reasonable next steps for your manuscript. Is it ready for the consideration of literary agents? Do you need to re-work sections in order to move forward?
This service has been designed to ask vital questions of your manuscript, to ask you to consider its' overall shape and structure, at a key stage in the writing process. Just how ready is your book?
