Editing and proofing, and....
 
Do you know that often unpublished manuscripts are picked up by studios and Indies for production? The film industry always has its eye out for viable material, whether that source is a screenplay, novel, or a magazine article --just as the industry scours newspapers for "ideas" and stories that will translate well to film.
 
However, not all material "translates" well to film and the trick is knowing what "source" is viable and will excite film executives.
 
As a former agent, I considered countless novels for film; I know what will work in the industry, and what will not. I am also able to determine what elements may be missing in your manuscript, or what changes are needed to make it viable in the film industry, as well as the publishing industry.
 
I would be delighted to "peruse" your novel for film viability. If your material has the basic elements (but needs strengthening), I will point out exactly what is needed to give your material a better shot in the industry, and I will walk you through the process of revising (if needed). As a bonus the revisions will strengthen your material for the publishing industry as well. 
 
Not interested Hollywood and simply want your novel edited? I do that too :-)
 
Simply contact me and we'll get started!
