To give your writing the best possible chance of getting published, simply email three things:-

  • 1. Your covering letter
  • 2. Your synopsis/outline
  • 3. The first three chapters of your manuscript.

I will comment on your covering letter suggesting areas of improvement if necessary. I will review your synopsis/outline and make appropriate recommendations. Review the first three chapters of your manuscript and give you an honest opinion.

In addition, my critique service includes commenting and offering advice on the following:-

Characterisation:
Here I address the development of your characters, how real and engaging they are, and any holes or inconsistencies. 

Genre/readership:
I let you know what genre I think the book falls into and what readership it will reach, and I discuss any issues with either.

Plot development:
I draw your attention to inconsistencies, discuss issues in pace, movement, time or setting and suggest improvements.

Readiness:
The big one - I let you know honestly whether I think the book will be of interest to agents/publishers.  I also give clear honest advice on what you need to do to ready the text for publication - whether that means submitting the book to agents/publishers, or self-publishing.

Structure:
I review your overall plot, chapter and part structuring.

Writing style:
This may include choice of words, descriptions, sentence and paragraph structure and length, active or passive voice, dialogue, repetition, and spelling, punctuation and grammar. I also give recommendations for copy-editing and proofreading.

The cost of Submission/Critique Package is £49 (60euros) Please email your submission to:  joneseditorial@aol.com preferably in wordpad format or adobe.

At the time of submission, I shall email details for payment.
