So you’ve written a story or drafted a novel – hurrah! Hmmm…Now what?
If you’ve got as far as you can on your own with your work in progress, then my Manuscript Report service is for you. Encouraging, confidence-boosting and practical, the report will highlight your strengths and identify the steps needed to get your project to the next level and make it shine.
How it works: Contact me on nicola@theunstoppableauthor.com and tell me about your project and I’ll give you a quote for your Manuscript Report.
Not sure if a Manuscript Report is what you need? Read some feedback from a happy customer:
“After getting the first draft of my novel to a point where I could no longer see it clearly, I approached Nicola for a report. I hoped that she may be able to help identify some direction, and give me some pointers for my next draft. But what I got from her was actually so much more.
Sending my first draft to Nicola was an extremely exposing prospect, but I knew instinctively that it was in safe hands; from the start of our communication she was clear, supportive, professional and clearly knows a lot about story and structure. What’s more, she was able to pick apart my vague cry for ‘help!’ and clearly identify what I needed from her and how she could best support me at this stage.
Nicola read my entire manuscript and provided me with a full beta read. Her feedback consisted of an in-depth structural breakdown; highlighting what works and what doesn’t from a reader perspective, and some brilliant suggestions for improvement. A lot of her feedback chimed reassuringly with my own thoughts, giving me the validation I needed to push forward, while some suggestions were new and interesting; wonderful pearls of wisdom that I can already see making my manuscript so much better. Her clear-sightedness when it comes to structure and theme is astonishing – and she was able to see things in my characters that I don’t think I’d even spotted myself.
The report gave me the reassurance, confidence and motivation I needed to continue with my project, and using Nicola’s feedback as a ‘to-do list’’ I’ve already started work on my second draft. I’d recommend Nicola’s services to absolutely anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next stage – she’ll honestly just help make it so much better in ways that you might not even have considered yourself. Thank you Nicola!”
