Anne offers manuscript evaluations for both picture books and novels (Middle Grade or YA). She works as a manuscript mentor for the University of Toronto, TWUC, CANSCAIP, and privately.

Novel manuscripts also receive a detailed editing of the first chapter.

TESTIMONIALS:

Anne has a special gift. Her knack for honing in on a manuscript’s problems is unsurpassed in my book, and I’ve worked with a number of wonderful editors over the years. Her feedback is always gentle, respectful, and most of all spot-on.
