It is easy to get so lost in your words that holes in your plot, or flaws in your characterisation can go by unnoticed.  This is where a trained eye and a fresh perspective can become invaluable in pointing you in the right direction. We offer friendly, but professional advice.

An appraisal will consists of the readers' general thoughts, but in particular we offer clarification on the following:

*   Plot structure, pace and development.
*   The strengths and weaknesses of your characterisation.
*   The suitability of your writing style, balance, and viewpoint.
*   Which readership your story is suitable for, and the degree to which it is marketable.
*   Suggested revisions.

Our sole focus in providing an appraisal is to give value to your work, criticism will be both positive and constructive.
