How to Become a
Successful Author
What is a
Manuscript Assessment?
A Manuscript Assessment is an informed review of your story. It allows The Story Mentor to bring his storytelling experience and fresh eyes to your manuscript to determine whether the concept and story works as a whole.
During a Manuscript Assessment, The Story Mentor:
-
Reviews your story with experienced eyes;
-
Assesses the story as a whole;
-
Offers suggestions on how to improve it;
-
Identifies any sections that need clarification;
-
Recommends what to add or remove;
-
Pinpoints plot holes and errors in logic; and
-
Advises your next best course of action.
When Should I Get a
Manuscript Assessment?
A Manuscript Assessment is recommended for writers with a completed early draft of their story.
Often writers become too close to their stories and struggle to recognise its quality components from its obvious flaws. If this has happened to you, then you need a Manuscript Assessment.
The Story Mentor approaches your manuscript with fresh eyes, allowing him to see clearly what works and what needs improvement.
