Manuscript Assessment
Up to 100k words - £600
Following a thorough read of your novel or narrative non-fiction book (50-100k words), you will be provided with a full report on ways forward for your manuscript. This will include advice on plot, characters, storytelling and literary devices, and potential changes from end to end, all within a four-week turnaround.
Manuscript Assessment
Up to 50k words - £325
As with the longer novel, Jill will read your completed manuscript of up to 50k words and provide a full report on all the key elements of plot and character development, language, style and audience appeal, along with potential improvements. Delivery faster than the standard four weeks can be purchased separately.
Work in Progress to 25k words/Picture Book - £225
While the other manuscript assessments are for drafts of completed works of fiction, it's possible to get your work-to-date assessed for guidance on what to continue and what to omit, where to hone and where to add, and other stylistic guidance. This service also applies to children's picture books.
Coaching and Mentoring
If you would like more than a one-off assessment of your book, W&W can coach you through the book writing process with pre-sheduled meetings set up to meet your goals.
6 weeks - £795
12 weeks - £1495
26 weeks - £2750
Ghost Writing, Fictionalising
Sometimes it's easier to do than explain. It's particularly tricky, for instance, to fictionalise a memoir. If you have a business novel, memoir or life story that you would like to bring into being in a particular way, please contact W&W for advice and price.
Online Novel Writing Course
For those looking to learn how to start writing their book and follow it through to the end, Jill's 8-part self-timed digital course includes videos, instructional exercises and handouts from every module. Once completed, you could aim for an assessment!

“Jill has an amazing ability to read a manuscript and assess its strengths and weaknesses. She’s an expert at evaluating structure, plot, characterisation and dialogue. Not only that, but she can identify where scenes need to be shown rather than told, and can offer insights on writing style, which will really help make your writing sparkle. I highly recommend Jill’s services."
