Manuscript Analysis

For a very few, very special MSs, Beverly takes on the role of mentor to an author ... and agrees to read the MS and report back on what she sees as strengths, weaknesses, and possible fixes.  These reports are detailed, extremely frank, and substantive.  This is not an edit; it is instead an extended and very detailed Master Class.

Beverly brings to this effort the experience of twenty-six years and some eighteen novels, publishd by the likes of Random House, Bantam Doubleday and Dell (before they were one and the same).  Currently, as Beverly Swerling, she is published by Simon and Schuster.  Before that she was a free lance journalist working for major publications.  Her fiction has been translated into a dozen or so languages and is for sale in Europe, Asia and South America, as well as North America. 

Reading slots are limited, granted for two week periods, and are usually booked two to three months in advance.  Advice about representation is available at the end of the process.  Please email Beverly@agentresearch.com to discuss the possibility of a Manuscript Analysis. 

"My novel, SAVING MAX, is slated to be published in August 2010.  I will also be attending the Harlequin annual sales conference in Jacksonville, Florida, where I hope to meet a variety of vendors and bookseller reps.  I want you to know that I have finished the acknowledgements for the book.  You figure largely in my thanks.  Without your support and wise counsel, my manuscript would have been burned in the backyard long ago!"
