Manuscript analysis:
Once submitted to
agents and publishers all scripts are sent out to readers for coverage. Using the
same people who read for the major agencies and publishers, BookScout reads and
assesses your manuscript and provides you with a 4 – 6 page assessment of your
script. This includes:
• project details
• a logline
• a comment
summary
• a basic grid
summation of your manuscript (assessing such elements as concept, structure and
characterisation)
• a report on the
strengths and weakness of the project, and constructive advice on how best to
develop the next draft of the project.

• a comment
summary
• a basic grid
summation of your manuscript (assessing such elements as concept and
characterisation)
• highly
detailed, page-by-page, notes on the manuscript. These address and define the

narrative, dialogue, and all the other aspects of the manuscript. We also advise
on commercial potential, and how the project might fit into the current
marketplace.
