Writing services

Black Cockie Press offers a range of writing services from structural editing or a readers report, to 1:1 mentoring. Check out how Black Cockie Press can help you with your writing goals.

Readers report

A reader's report is an objective and impartial report of the state of your manuscript. In it you will learn about your manuscript's strengths and weaknesses. A readers report is a valuable document to have before submitting your manuscript to prospective publishers and agents. 

A reader's report can be a confronting document. If your material is of highly personal nature or if you are unprepared to have the faults in your writing listed and discussed in detail this is not the service for you. If, however, you wish to identify the flaws in your manuscript which will result in it's rejection by agents and publishers and have the time and opportunity to correct them before sending your work out, this service is for you.

Natalie Muller specializes in Literary and Historical fiction, though all genres are accepted.


Mentoring
