Don’t Let Doubt Derail Your Dreams

Introducing the Bold Story Press Manuscript Evaluation Service

Who is the BSP Manuscript Evaluation for?

  • Writers who are wondering if their manuscript is ready or nearly ready for publication, who want an assessment in order to prepare for submission to agents and publishers.

  • Writers who are getting vague or conflicting feedback from readers, who seek a clear and objective view from a seasoned publishing professional.

  • Writers who are stuck: They know work still needs to be done but are not sure what work to do or how to go about it.

  • Writers in the early stages of writing who want confirmation that their content strategy is viable, that their characters development and dialogue are effective and that their manuscript is suitable and appropriate for the intended audience.

  • Writers of nonfiction works who want feedback that their content is clear and engaging.

The Bold Story Press manuscript evaluation service provides expert editorial feedback and guidance to writers working on fiction and nonfiction book manuscripts. Our team of seasoned editors, with backgrounds in traditional publishing, understand the need for balance between creativity and structure. We know that writers often become so immersed in their work that they lose sight of the bigger picture. That's why we're here to offer our expert eyes and insightful feedback to ensure your manuscript is on the right track.

The BSP manuscript evaluation will identify areas where further development of your manuscript is needed to move your manuscript closer to publication. Whether you're working on an early draft or polishing your final draft, our guidance will empower you to realize your manuscript's full potential.

With the BSP manuscript evaluation, you'll receive:

  • Objective Analysis: Our editors will provide an in-depth look at your manuscript sample, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. From voice to pacing, character development to dialogue, and narrative arc to plot structure, we will identify opportunities for you to strengthen your writing.

  • Tailored Recommendations: No two manuscripts are the same, and neither are our evaluations. We tailor our feedback to your work, your unique voice and vision, offering actionable suggestions to make your writing stronger.

  • Polish: We’ll help you to refine your writing style by identifying issues of grammar, clarity, and consistency.

  • Confidence: Armed with our guidance and objective feedback, you can move forward with your revised manuscript toward publication.
