So, what’s the difference between an
appraisal and an assessment?
An appraisal is the basic facility, which all new members receive: an analysis of the first chapter of work, plus a brief analysis of your synopsis and proposal letters. Detailed assessments are designed to go much deeper, thus:
- Our assessments provide you with insights and opinions about your writing - from a publisher's viewpoint. Publishers receive hundreds of manuscripts weekly from aspiring authors - and most are rejected without a word of explanation. We explain!
- Our assessment panel includes publishers, published authors, agents, illustrators, reviewers, editors and copywriters. All have seen thousands of manuscripts and are aware of publishers' likes and dislikes.
- WriteAway will identify the most appropriate specialist to give you confidential advice to structure your submission material to publishers and agents.
Over and above the inclusive
benefits of
WriteAway membership,you may choose to receive:
- a detailed assessment of the first three chapters of your work of fiction.
- a detailed assessment of your entire book-length work of fiction.
- more guidance on preparing proposals, covering letters and synopses for publishers and agents.
- advice on how to prepare a chapter-by-chapter synopsis that will help you both write and complete your first writing project.
