Have you written, or nearly written, a novel or a non-fiction book and it’s languishing in a file on your laptop? Is it time to give it the respect it deserves, especially considering the time you spent writing it? I would be delighted to provide you with a manuscript assessment, which will hopefully give you the encouragement to fine-tune your writing project and submit the manuscript to publishers or literary agents, or even self-publish.
Until 30 November 2026, I will discount my manuscript assessment fees by 10%
**I am an experienced assessor/editor of most genres and non-fiction books.
**I will undertake the assessment personally.
**I do not engage freelance reviewers to assess manuscripts sent to me.
**I am based in Melbourne but I have assessed manuscripts Australia-wide, and even a few sent from overseas.
You can find out more information about my manuscript assessment service here.
So why not take advantage of my fee reduction for the month of November to provide a manuscript assessment of your writing project?
My fee (Australian dollars) is based on the word count of the manuscript.
Manuscript Word Count Discounted November 2026 fee
Up to 20,000 words $427.50
Up to 40,000 words $535.50
Up to 60,000 words $630.00
Up to 80,000 words $720.00
Up to 100,000 words $810.00
Up to 120,000 words $900.00
For all manuscripts over 120,000 words, the fee will be quoted on an individual basis when you contact me.
The fee must be paid by bank transfer before the assessment begins.
If you are considering the benefits of a manuscript assessment, I look forward to ‘hearing’ from you with details of your writing project.
I will answer your written queries within 24 hours via

Why not take the plunge before the end of the year?
