JBWB's fee structure
represents exceptional value.
Our Full
Critique and Editing service is the most comprehensive we know of. We read and assess your work, furnishing you
with constructive criticism along the way. We will comment where necessary on your plot, dialogue, characterisation,
style, presentation etc., letting you know where your writing succeeds
and where it fails, constantly suggesting improvements. We critique as we go – line by line, paragraph by paragraph – and so you are soon able to build up a picture of the main areas of your manuscript that require most work.
As well as this, the service includes professional
line and copy editing, in which attention is paid to all aspects
of grammar, spelling, punctuation and the clarity and flow of your
sentence structure. Finally, we will suggest any potential
markets and/or agents, and offer hands-on assistance with your covering letter and synopsis.

Novel Assessment Service
If all you require is professional feedback on what you have written, we offer a straightforward novel assessment service where we will read your manuscript and then provide you with the advice you need.
This is a comprehensive service, in which we will read your work and then furnish you with detailed constructive criticism of your plot, dialogue, characterisation, style, presentation etc. We'll let you know where your writing succeeds and where it fails, and then suggest improvements and potential markets, offering assistance with a covering letter and synopsis.
For novels up to 80,000 words, the fee for this service is £150 (See HERE for payment details). For longer novels, please email jenny@jbwb.co.uk to arrange a fee.
The Historical Novel Society has named Jacqui Bennett Writers
Bureau its critique and editorial service of choice. Together, we
make an unbeatable team for new writers of historical fiction. If
your work shows real promise, JBWB will pass the manuscript to the
Historical Novel Society for a second reading. Then, if the HNS
agree with the assessment, they promise to recommend it to suitable
agents and/or publishers – at no additional cost.

a few seconds. A receipt for the amount you pay
will be emailed to
you within minutes. Email your manuscript
as soon as you wish after this, and we will be in touch personally
to acknowledge its receipt and to answer any questions you may have.
