Please answer three quick questions about your manuscript and we’ll be in touch shortly. Thanks!
Here are the types of reports we offer. Click on each for more details.
NOTE: Your manuscript must be shorter than 90,000 words to be eligible for this feedback option.
Your complete manuscript will be read by THREE Spun Yarn readers. Our readers have been carefully selected from around the country and represent a diverse variety of age, gender, and worldview. Based upon the type of feedback you’re looking for, we’ll handpick three readers who are perfect for your manuscript.
Your Spun Yarn Manuscript Feedback Report will be delivered to you within 30 days* after we receive the draft of your book. See what a Spun Yarn Manuscript Report looks like here. At over 30 pages and beautifully designed, we promise that you've never seen anything quite like it.
Each Spun Yarn Manuscript Report consists of three core components – Flash Feedback, Qualitative Feedback, and Quantitative Feedback.
Flash Feedback: At the quarter, halfway, three-quarters, and ending point in the book, Spun Yarn Readers provide input on the reading experience. Flash Feedback provides excellent insight into what readers are thinking in real time as they read a manuscript.
Qualitative Feedback: Spun Yarn readers provide feedback on what they thought were the best aspects of a book, along with their opinion on the focus areas most in need of improvement. Authors also have the opportunity to pose two questions directly to Spun Yarn readers at the outset of the feedback process, which are answered in this section of the Manuscript Report. For a small additional charge, authors can ask up to three additional Reader questions.
Quantitative Feedback: In this third section of the report, readers provide a numerical score of your novel on a scale of 1 -10 in eight key categories. By focusing on trends, correlations, and deviations in this quantitative data, the Spun Yarn is able to provide clear insight into the strengths and improvement areas in a manuscript.
NOTE: HAVE A MANUSCRIPT LONGER THAN 89,999 WORDS? PLEASE SELECT THE SUPERSIZED MANUSCRIPT OPTION.
