Got a story idea that you need help with?
A developmental edit or manuscript assessment (as it is sometimes called)
may be just what you need to get words flowing again.
If all you've got is an idea for a story or you've made a start on your book, but you've lost momentum, written yourself into a corner or simply don't know if what you've got will work, a developmental edit/manuscript assessment is right for you.
A 5,000 to 10,000-word report identifying your story's strengths and weaknesses, including suggestions on how to fix the big picture issues so your story is as clear and engaging as possible.
The report covers
I follow a simple process:
1. Get in touch with me either by phone, email or fill in the online form. Tell me your idea and your goals for the book.
2. If you have a deadline in mind, especially if it is urgent, let me know so I can check my schedule.
3. Email your manuscript/outline/draft/synopsis in MS WORD to mandy@thebluepencilediting.com
4. I will read through the material to ensure it is a good fit for my editing skills, if not I will recommend another editor.
5. If it is, I will email a fee confirmation and my best estimate for a finish date.
6. If you're happy with these, let me know.
7. Please note that 10% of the fee is payable upfront with the balance due on delivery of the edited manuscript. Your invoice will include payment instructions.

Whilst in my care, your manuscript and ideas will be kept in the strictest of confidence. I will not share them with anyone and will delete all files from my records once the editing is done.
I love meeting up with my clients, so feel free to call me and arrange a chat and a cuppa.
