Our aims are to encourage writers and actively help them to make the best of their work and to place it within the marketplace. We speak to publishers and agents so that we can establish what they are searching for and position our strong clients accordingly. We also want to act as the first port of call for the industry, who can consult our database and pursue manuscripts that are of interest to them.

We are the only UK company to focus exclusively on the development of high quality manuscripts. We only use the best analysts and they all come recommended by major publishers, agents and production companies. Our extensive experience and expertise means that you will benefit from discovering what a seasoned industry reader thinks of your manuscript.

These are the people who will be reading your manuscripts when you submit them to agents and publishers. Detailed, well considered and constructive advice and criticism will enable you to make the most of your project before you take it to the next level. Unlike some other manuscript coverage services, every one of our analysts works for at least three major companies; they have all worked closely with individual writers as script editors; and each has their own writing experience. This means that they understand the process of manuscript development from both a commercial and creative perspective.

 

Why us?

We will give you a totally honest appraisal of your work. This will demonstrate to you both how your manuscript can be improved, and what potential it has within the marketplace. This is based on our analysts’ longstanding experience working for major agents, publishers and production companies. As a result of this, our service enables writers to identify and address problems with their manuscripts before taking the project further. With the help of BookScout’s longstanding and comprehensive industry knowledge, writers can be confident of developing their manuscript to its fullest creative and commercial potential.
