Get expert feedback on your manuscript
Querying agents or publishers can quickly become demoralising when you’re not getting the feedback you need to get that much-wanted ‘YES!’. You might have a great query letter but a terrible synopsis. Or, a brilliant opening chapter, but a terrible query letter. Without knowing exactly where you’re going wrong, it’s hard to move forward. Our Agent Submission Pack Review offers expert feedback on every aspect of your submission — query letter, synopsis, and opening chapters. Ideal for first-time queriers or those still pursuing the coveted ‘yes.’
Why a Manuscript Assessment Matters
What’s included?
Find out what’s working in your query letter, what’s not and, most importantly, how to fix it.
Does your synopsis show your book in the best possible light? You’ll find out and get advice on how to improve it.
Agents are busy people and hooking them in the first few pages is absolutely key. Find out if your opening 10k words are working hard enough for you and if not, how you can make sure they do.
After you receive your report, you’ll have the opportunity for a short email exchange with your editor to clarify anything you’re unsure of before you begin polishing your work.
