Reader’s Report
An objective look at your manuscript
A Reader’s Report is a professional, objective look at your manuscript which will give you helpful suggestions and ideas to get it ready for the next stage, which is editing.
It is an essential part of the writing process and often the first time your manuscript has been looked at by someone outside your circle.
A reader’s report is an overview of the manuscript, and includes comments and suggestions on the following:
The title
Your ideal reader
Categories that your book can be placed in bookshops and on Amazon
How your book engages the reader
A breakdown of each chapter
Whether more or less is needed on a particular subject or a specific character
Your style
Extras such as direct/indirect speech, quotes, copyright, images and so on.
