Speculative Fiction Editorial Assessment

Are you looking for an editorial assessment or a full developmental edit of your novel?

​

An editorial assessment, also called a manuscript critique, is an incredibly important step if you're looking to find a literary agent, get feedback on your novel, self-publish, or improve your craft.​

​

We offer: kind, honest, and supportive feedback on your novel draft, adapted to your publishing goals and your vision for your novel. Our feedback is grounded in a deep knowledge of the current market.

​​

​​​Coached Editorial Assessment

 

An editorial assessment is a solid first step—and for many people, it's all they need. The coached version is the most affordable option available.

 

I read your novel once and deliver editorial feedback as notes (typically four to six pages) and on a one-hour feedback call.

 

£150 + £60 per 10,000 words

A 70,000-word novel would cost £570 (approx. $680)

​

Editorial Assessment

​

If you want a short report of around 1500 words instead of a call, this service costs:

​

£250 + £60 per 10,000 words

A 70,000-word novel would cost £670 (approx. $920)

 

I can also quote in EUR or USD.

 

​You can also purchase this service as an add-on after a manuscript critique or coached critique. I discount the cost of the original service from the total cost of the developmental edit.​​​​​​​​​​

Description of the workflow for an editorial assessment.

"The editorial report was one of the greatest feedback tools I have ever received."

—Vincent Burke, Queer Romantasy Author

Testimonials

"The biggest value I received from Andy was in the way he helped me to deepen my entire story. He showed me where beats or characterizations I took for granted had gaps to a reader, or raised questions I hadn't considered."

—Robert Winter, Queer Romantasy Author

 

​"Working with Andy made my debut novel better, and the results in distribution and reviews prove it."

—Nathan Wagner, Speculative Fiction Author

​

"Andrew's editing was of the highest standard. I learned a lot about the process from him and felt confident my manuscript was in good hands. It was a rewarding experience I hope to repeat soon." 

—Ada Gadomski, Fantasy Fiction Author
