Proposal and Manuscript Review

Here at Nell James Publishers, we understand how hard it is to write a book proposal and the disappointment of a rejection months later with no feedback from a publisher or literary agent.

We can help.

With over 20 years of publishing experience, we can read and review your proposal and sample chapter, and provide written feedback to help you get to the next stage. Depending on where you are with your proposal, the feedback would be a two-page report on either,

  • how your submission and sample chapter can be improved;
  • or, if your submission requires little change, how it can be improved plus submission advice, including suggestions for suitable publishers.

Due to the time reading and evaluating your proposal, the cost for this evaluation service is £35 (payment in advance via Paypal).

In addition to this, we can review your complete manuscript, the cost of which is worked out on an individual basis based on the number of words, subject matter and level of feedback required.

If you are interested in any of our review services, then please contact us to discuss further.
