When a writer gets too close to a piece of work, it can be invaluable to see it again through a fresh, sensitive and critical eye.
​
As a manuscript consultant, I have developed a keen interest in the inner workings of the novel, defining what a writer is looking to achieve and what steps might help them to realise their vision.
I offer an editorial reading service, providing constructive feedback on what is and isn’t working in a manuscript and, most importantly, why. My report will cover elements of character, style, structure, plot and setting.
​
I’ve worked with award-winning authors, as well as writers at the start of their careers who have gone on to secure offers of representation from agents.
​
A Third Eye provides a full manuscript report at a competitive rate with a fast turnaround. This includes the opportunity for follow-up questions. I also undertake submission appraisals, including covering letter and synopsis. I offer feedback on scripts too and I'm Script Consultant for Park the Bus.
