Dear Author,
One of the first challenges a writer faces after releasing a book is obtaining reviews, and convincing readers to pick your book.
Good reviews help readers choose your book above others.
The service I'm offering is an Editorial Review. These reviews can be used on the Editorial section of the book's Amazon page and add validation to your book. I will also post on Goodreads and with your permission on one or more of my blogs, including FB and Twitter promotion. Editorial reviews can also be used on all your promotional material, including book blurbs and descriptions.
Only books that earn the equivalent of 4-5* rating will gain my Editorial Review. 100-200 words.
For books rated the equivalent of a 3, 2, or 1* a ~200 word report will be provided summarizing the story's weaknesses (this report will only be seen by the author and won't be published). The editorial fee will not be refunded as this covers my time reading and assessing your story. If you think your book isn't quite at a professional publishing standard then please refer to my assessment report option below.

Testimonial:
'I was impressed with the constructive feedback provided by Wendy Scott on my sample manuscript. Her suggestions were meaningful and carefully considered, relevant to the story and style of writing.
Wendy picked up instances of repetition and overuse of words, sometimes unseen by a writer who is too close to their own work. She gave an honest impression of the story pace, dialogue, characterisation and credibility, invaluable observations.
During the process, Wendy readily kept in touch, her response time to questions prompt.
If you want someone completely detached from your work to cast an eye over a sample, I would highly recommend Wendy.' - Angela Woolf.
