Michael has provided editorial support on over 30 published novellas-in-flash across a variety of leading publishers, plus a number of manuscripts that have either won awards or been listed in competitions.
If you’ve already written (or started) a novella-in-flash, you can access help from Michael in the form of a manuscript appraisal before submitting to a publisher or competition, in order to help your manuscript be at its very best:
#1 – “Work-in-Progress Clarity Call” (via Zoom): you’re part-way through a first draft but you don’t know where to head next! Talking through your work-in-progress via Zoom with a creativity coach can help you towards the right answers.
#2 – Standard Manuscript Appraisal: you have a full draft version of your novella-in-flash but you want ideas for fine-tuning the manuscript further, to increase your chances with a publisher or competition. Your manuscript appraisal will include a 2-3 page document summarising key feedback, plus a meeting (90 minutes, via Zoom) to discuss this feedback, brainstorm together, and explore options for moving forward.
#3 – Enhanced Manuscript Appraisal: as Option #2 above, but with 3-4 page written appraisal & meeting of up to 2hrs, PLUS line by line editorial recommendations: to bring extra vitality and finesse to your manuscript, helping it to shine and stand out among submissions.
#4 – “Spark and Fine-tuning”: in-depth editorial feedback and mentoring support for novella-in-flash manuscripts previously longlisted or shortlisted in competitions but not yet published. More details about the “Spark and Fine-tuning” service here.
