How Write Right can help you

Write Right is a service for writers of fiction and nonfiction, offering manuscript assessment by experienced writers and editors, including:

  • a close reading of the manuscript
  • a detailed report on its strengths and weaknesses
  • general and specific suggestions as to how it can be improved.
  • If we consider the manuscript to be of a publishable standard, we will provide a shortlist of possible publishers. If not, we may be able to suggest alternative approaches.
    We have worked with authors on novels, autobiographies, travel books, short-story collections, children’s stories and even technical books.

    Write Right is a member of the NZ Association of Manuscript Assessors.

    What our clients say

    “Thank you for your insightful assessment of my manuscript - my first foray into fiction after a career in journalism. Your advice helped me shift gears and craft my work into a much more readable and suspenseful novel.” – Anne Maria Nicholson, author of the No 1 New Zealand best-selling novel Weeping Waters (HarperCollins).

    “Thank you for your very professional and helpful assessment... It is clear to me what I must do and that is what I hoped for.”

    “I like the fact that you are so specific, and have given me good starting points for work on the manuscript.”

    “I have finished revising the text following the recommendations in your report. The comments were of great help. The main issue was point of view and this problem has been addressed. I have made all the other structural changes as suggested. It is hard to get a degree of distance from the text but I feel confident that the alterations are all worthwhile.”

    “Thanks for your report which arrived in today's mail. It was really helpful and encouraging. Your comments made a lot of sense, and I'm about to get back to it and start a bit more pruning and editing.”

    “I found the process valuable and have done nearly all the changes you suggested, including moving the back to the front!”
