Manuscript assessment

I love helping writers with their works in progress! I offer a manuscript assessment service where I can read your WIP and provide feedback and advice. You'll get an electronic report detailing my overall impression of your work, the project's strengths and weaknesses, suggestions for changes, and comments on any particular areas you're looking for. I offer a three-week turnaround. My fees are based on word count:

Up to 5000 words plus synopsis: $550

5000-20k: $750

20-40k: $900

40-50k: $1250

50-70k: $1500

70-90k: $1850

beyond 90k: to be negotiated

Interested? Email me.

Appearances

I love meeting young people. I do talks, workshops, keynotes and residencies for students, teachers, librarians and parents. I’m comfortable talking to primary, secondary or tertiary students. I talk about:

• my books and writing process

• writing workshops on character, plot and idea generation

You can email me to discuss a potential event, or contact Booked Out.

I also provide corporate workshops on narrative and storytelling. Contact me directly if you’re interested.
