The Writer's Studio — Manuscript Assessment

Manuscript assessment — $150. A full read of your manuscript from someone who is not your mum — honest, encouraging, and useful.

How we make it. One editor reads your manuscript start to finish, taking real notes as they go, then writes up a structured report — not a track-changes document — covering what is working, what is not, and what to do about it.

• A complete read of your manuscript (up to 90,000 words)
• A written report on structure, pacing, character and voice
• Clear, practical next steps, not just a list of problems
• No line edits — this is the big-picture view before you commit to a full edit

Usually delivered within 1–2 weeks, depending on manuscript length.
