Why Book Assessments And Appraisals Matter

Using writers, editors and publishers to assess your book who have been through the publishing hoop many times is an excellent way to ensure you are ready to submit your manuscript to a literary agent or book publisher. These book editing professionals have no axes to grind, and no hidden agendas to seduce you to part with further fees in return for rich publishing deals. Quite the reverse! Their job is to point out exactly how your proposal package for publishers and agents reads - at first glance. And a cursory glance is all most aspiring authors can expect when submitting work to third parties. Play the game by the existing rules and you can expect your extracts to be considered. Pay insufficient attention to your initial approach and the chances are high your work will be discarded . . . without a word being read. After all the work you've put in, that's a dreadful shame.

Writers contacting book editors offering a book editing service, are invited to try out their submission proposal on them first. And here's the rub: they can spot quickly whether your book manuscript is suitably presented, professional edited and likely to attract further attention, and a possible book deal. They offer their opinion and suggest changes that will enhance your chances of success.

Book assessments and book appraisals can run to a page or two, or hundreds of pages. Beware the lengthy report. These will empty your wallet, and confuse. If you need that much help you should be taking a writing course - much cheaper, and they do a better, more professional job as you learn your trade. Book editing services are not in the teaching game. They help writers get published . . . and if they feel they can't help they say so.
