An editor’s report is a detailed analysis of your manuscript up to 10 pages long covering various aspects of novel writing: structure, story shape, plot, character development, prose and literary technique.

What does an Editor's Report include?

An editor’s report includes an overview and comments on structure, narrative, plot, prose style, literary technique, world building and character development.

The report will also include recommendations for moving forward.

How long does it take to review a Manuscript?

The process usually takes between one week to three weeks depending on the quality of the work, or the length of the manuscript.
