Manuscript Assessment and Editing Services

  • Manuscript Guidance Session

    This involves a face-to-face meeting over coffee/tea at a mutually convenient spot if you are in Perth (an online meeting via Teams can be arranged). Email me a sample of your manuscript (the first three chapters for adult publications or the entire manuscript for a children’s picture book). I will read the document and provide feedback and suggestions of how to best achieve your publishing goal during the meeting. The average meeting takes an hour and a half. To find out more, email Charmaine.

  • Manuscript Assessment Report

    I will read your completed children’s book manuscript and provide a written report on the following:

    •        Presentation 

    •        Title suitability

    •        The plot and its development

    •        Content suitability for audience

    •        Flow and pace of the story

    •        If any reworking is required

    •        Character development

    •        Strengths and weaknesses.

    Please note a manuscript assessment is not an edit and will not include spelling or grammar recommendations, only general feedback. To find out more, email Charmaine.

  • Editing Services

    I can help polish your completed manuscript to make it the best it can be before going to publication. I will read your Microsoft Word file (set in 12 pt Times New Roman with double line spacing) and send you an edited version with my suggestions and comments. To find out more, email Charmaine.
