The industry has changed dramatically since I first entered it in the mid nineties. These days, with so many literate, well educated people hoping to make it into print, there is a hell of a lot more competition out there than ever before. Australian author Frank Moorhouse refers to it as a log jam of manuscripts bobbing about with no where to go.
In order to gain an edge over the competition, many first time authors are seeking the advice of an independent reader with knowledge of the craft and the industry, to ensure that their work is publishable before sending it out into the world.
If you are thinking of trying to find an agent or publisher for your work but are unsure if it is ready, then an assessment can provide that final polish, highlight structural problems and, if it turns out to be a work of heartbreaking genius, give you that extra boost of confidence you need to go out and sell your manuscript.
I specialise in literary fiction and non-fiction, memoir and biography, YA (young adult) and general commercial and genre fiction.
