Manuscript Review

What is the Advantage Manuscript Review?
Advantage's manuscript review is a comprehensive evaluation that assesses the editorial quality of a client's writing, to determine if it a) is effective at achieving the writer's marketing marketing goals and b) fulfills the basic requirements of a published book. Our manuscript review team will provide you with a general editorial evaluation of your manuscript as well as constructive comments on improving the manuscript.
