Consultancy

I’m excited to offer a variety of editorial consultancy packages designed to help you navigate the often opaque world of publishing. These services are perfect for writers at different stages:

  • New to querying and seeking guidance on approaching agencies

  • Writers who feel stuck in their manuscript and need help diagnosing what’s not working

  • Authors looking for coaching through revisions of a finished draft

Each package includes a virtual 1-hour meeting with Kerry-Ann Bentley, where she’ll offer tailored feedback and insight on your manuscript, the querying process, and the industry at large.

Agency Submission Package Review

I’ll review your pitch letter, synopsis, and the first 3 chapters of your submission package to literary agencies, providing feedback on all three.

You’ll receive a detailed letter with constructive feedback, followed by a 1-hour virtual call (phone or video) to go over any questions you have.

Submission Package Review + Editorial Report (10,000 words)

I’ll review your agency submission package and provide an editorial report on the first 10,000 words of your novel (adult or children’s). You’ll receive in-depth feedback on plot, character development, structure, and market viability.

We’ll follow up with a 1-hour virtual call to discuss the feedback and any questions you have.

Fiction Editorial Report + Coaching – Full Manuscript (100,000 words max)

I’ll review your agency submission package and provide an editorial report on the full manuscript of your novel (adult or children’s). This includes detailed feedback on plot, character development, structure, and market viability, with specific guidance on revisions.

You’ll also receive two 1-hour virtual calls: the first to discuss feedback and the second to discuss the revised manuscript.
