Editorial consultancy
1. Evaluation of unedited manuscripts
What is it: An editorial consulting service which professionally evaluates unedited Fiction (for adults and children), Non Fiction and Popular Non Fiction.
Who should be interested: Debut authors interested in receiving a professional opinion or that feel the need for deep insight into their own work to establish its value and potential. A positive evaluation does not imply automatic representation by book@ literary agency.
How does it work: The author will be sent a report of approximately 10 pages containing a detailed analysis of the thematic and stylistic themes of the text (structure, characters, style, language), further to highlighted points of strength and possible weaknesses.
2. Presentation Profile of work
What is it: This reading will result in the preparation of a detailed presentation profile that will promote the Work’s points of strength. The profile can be potentially attached to other promotional material that the author can use in distributing their Work.
Who should be interested: Authors that intend to self-publish their own book and want to receive a presentation profile of their own Work. A considerable part of the profile is dedicated to providing specific information and advice aimed at improving the manuscript in view of publication.
How does it work: Our experience as agents is offered through evaluation profiles in a specific section, “Spendibilità Editoriale”, dedicated to identifying a group of editors to whom the manuscript can be sent in accordance with its literary and commercial potential.
* A positive evaluation does not imply automatic representation by book@. In cases in which our review results in particular interest, the author will be given a proposal for exclusive representation for their review.
** The time required for these evaluations is determined by the options chosen, but will not surpass 45 working days (beginning from the engagement of the service and the date of payment for the service).
