RAM T. DARYANANI - author of "SCROONATHAN: A DIWALI STORY"





"Very professional service and excellent communication throughout the process. Exactly what I was hoping for. Communication was excellent... additionally quality of service overall and help provided was first rate. Furthermore price and product quality were also superb. Communication is key to this type of service and the service provided was first rate. Affordable but not to the degree of undermining a quality of service. Good balance given. Whilst there may be cheaper out there it is unlikely they would provide as thorough a service or as good a service. Personally I am happy to pay slightly more for a very good product and service. Regular, swift and always willing to answer questions with a personal response. And when I asked for further clarification it was given promptly and in good detail in a clear manner. I came across you from a recommendation from a friend so I would be more than happy to do the same."


E.N.K. CLARKSON - author of "MILDRED AND OTHER STORIES"





"Beyond the comprehensive work that was done for the instructions I gave to be done, working with Matt was always a joy. He never once considered my requests and questions to be out-of-line or impossible, but forthrightly helped figure out how they could be done or gave better suggestions. In the end it was always my decisions; he simply provided the professional guidance for those decisions. It was a very enjoyable and productive experience."


LANCE V. PACKER - author of "CAUGHT BETWEEN WORLDS"





"Wonderful. Matt managed to encapsulate the key themes and ideas of my manuscript, something that I desperately needed help with! Good communication, timely delivery, highly recommended."


EVA LEPPARD - author of "THE PITFALLS OF BEING A GODDESS"





"Super helpful and worked very fast! Would definitely recommend."


DAVE RUETER - author of "A SIXERS ODYSSEY"





"The synopsis was well-written and I found it to be spot on. Matt provided some good feedback... I plan to use him again in the future."


SHAD'E ZUIWETA - author of "ADULTEROUS SINS"





"Mr. McAvoy's review and beta reading were complete and very useful."


LUIS PISONI and AURORA MAZZOLDI - authors of "HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM LIFE"





"MJV has helped bring the finishing touch to my books, the look and feel of the revised work is excellent. I have received top rated reviews and never a negative word on the quality and grammar of my books. Great communication, too; Matt keeps me informed, I'm always aware of what's happening and the follow up is excellent."


ROBERT J. SANISCALCHI - author of "FREEDOM'S LIGHT"





"Matt was very amiable and easy to work with from the start. His responses were speedy and courteous. His appraisal report is detailed and very informative. Overall, he has provided me with an excellent and thorough assessment that will be extremely helpful in bringing my manuscript up to market readiness. I would definitely recommend his services."


HAZEL WARD - author of "THE THREE THINGS THAT BROKE NETTA WILDE"





"I have referred your service to other authors a few times and will continue to do so; it is great value for the money. The Kindle/e-Book Service adds a little to the cost, but is the icing on the cake for getting out there in the e-book market."


ROBERT J. SANISCALCHI - author of "BUTTERFLY LAKE"





"Great commenting; just what I needed."


SHYON BABAZADEH - author of "DARK MATTER EMPIRE, BOOK ONE"





"Very professional and speedy delivery; beyond expectation."


AARON RAN - author of "MICRO DEMOCRACY"





"A splendid service. Working with Matt McAvoy and MJV Authors to remedy errors that had escaped my notice and improve passage flow and delivery was as easy as it was enjoyable, and it left me with a product I couldn't be happier with. I came across Matt's review service quite late; he was extremely helpful, quick and professional, and from there I found MJV Authors. I arrived uncertain and hopeful, and left confident and delighted. I highly recommend Matt and MJV Literary Author Services to anyone looking to put the finishing touches on their book - to ensure that the final version is the best version it can be! Thanks guys!"  


THOMAS RICHARDS - author of "THE CORRAL RING"





"MJV provided an analysis of my 500 page book, noting the strengths and weaknesses in a nice report. It’s hard to read a critique of your own work, but Matt’s detailed feedback was so thoughtfully crafted that I found myself nodding in agreement with every one of his points. Worth every penny."  


JEFFREY CHASE - author of "TRANSIT TO ZEISS"





"Working with Matt exceeded my expectations. It was clear he had thoroughly read my manuscript and provided a fantastic synopsis, exactly what I needed. Very professional and knew exactly what he was doing. I cannot recommend this service enough. Thank you."  


FAIZAH HAIDER - author of "PALESTINE STATE OF MIND"





"I was very pleased with the thoroughness and quality of proofing and copy editing. I will use this service again, without a doubt."  


NICK ARNETT - author of "RESILIENCE DURING THE PANDEMIC"





"Did a great job capturing my novel. I would definitely use this service again."  


C.J. KLINE - author of "SACRED"





"Matt's communication was fantastic through the whole process and my book much improved for the proofreading service they provided."  


RIC RAE - author of "MONSTERS INSIDE"





"I used MJV Literary Services for proofreading, and Kindle typesetting and I have to say that I am very happy with the result. It is clear that the MJV team operates to a high standard. Their suggested edits and revisions are not only detailed but also improved the flow of my book. My book has got good reviews from respected publications such as Kirkus Reviews and Amazon customers afterwards. Will definitely be using MJV services again for my future work."  


DIMAS RIO - author of "WHO'S THERE?"





"Matt went over and beyond with his beta read. He provided an honest critique with many helpful suggestions. I would definitely recommend him."  


WENDIE PERCHARSKY - author of "CHILDREN OF THE REICH"





"Matt did an amazing job whipping up an excellent summary to my new adult fantasy novel. He focused in on the overall themes and wove them through a factual retelling of the novel's events, resulting in a well-crafted précis that's concise, engaging, and complete without omitting any important detail."  


E.H. BALCH - author of "ASSAULT ON DEVIL'S DEN"





"Did an in depth review of over 140,000 words in such little time. Highly recommend!"  


GABRIEL ROBIN - author of "SHIFTERS"





"For the price point I got someone who knows how to write a decent synopsis and who actually read my manuscript!"  


MICHAEL LOOFT - author of "RISING UP"





"MJV Literary Author Services were extremely professional and helpful when they created my synopsis and proofread my novel, and I would have no hesitation in recommending their excellent author services."  


B.P. SMYTHE - author of "THE MEDAL OF PURITY"





"MJV Literary helped me plough the minefield of publishing my debut novella. I would not have made it without Matt, or Maja my cover designer. Thank you to both."

B.J. RAY - author of "ON MIDNIGHT RIDGE"





"I first sent my book to be reviewed as I was unsure whether it was good enough to be published. It turned out that even though the story wasn't bad, my broken English made it very hard to be understood. I then decided to go with copy-editing and it became a much better read - even for me, the author, who already knew the story by heart."

ERWAN GOURM - author of "AN UNWANTED AND UNWILLING HERO"





"Matt was very responsive and provided excellent work with a quick turnaround. He created a synopsis in the correct format and had a great hook. I look forward to working with him again in the near future."

CONNIE UPHAM - author of "ROAD TO GLORY"





"Matt McAvoy delivered a wonderful synopsis! What a wonderful delivery... and chap."

CALUM SYERS - author of "THE SEPTEMBER GURL"

S.P. CARNEY - author of "THE ESCAPE VELOCITY OF ATTACHMENT"





"Very quick, professional job. Thanks!"

DANNY DECILLIS - author of "I.R.L."





"I have a hunch that this synopsis will get me an agent!"


JASON MARSHALL - author of "MEET MARVIN"





"It was a pleasure working with Matt McAvoy on my first novel - My only regret is that I didn't find him sooner. I will definitely use MJV on my next project."

MARK GUILLERMAN - author of "FLOW LIKE A RIVER"





"Very satisfied with the quality and promptness of their work."  


WALT SAUTTER - author of "FISH FARM"





"I am now at the stage of publishing - I certainly wouldn't have got this far without your valuable input.  Many thanks."

IAIN McEWAN - author of "IF MY DAD COULD SEE ME NOW"





"Huge thanks for all of the hard work you have so obviously done.  I am tremendously happy with the final product - the book has been much uplifted by your efforts."   


SIMON GARY - author of "GONE TO THE DOGS"





"I have received both a review and a copy edit from MJV. The review was honest and straightforward. It pointed out fixable shortcomings in my novel. The edit was thorough. I now appreciate the value of using a copy editor prior to submission. MJV provides excellent value compared to the other choices I researched."

PETER LEARN - author of "ROCKY MOUNTAIN NOIR"


It has been our pleasure and our good fortune to work with some of the best up and coming authors from all over the world - our client base has included writers from Europe, Russia, India, Africa, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Japan, Canada, Australia... and pretty much everywhere else, too!  They all have one thing in common (other than the obvious, that they are all wonderful, passionate writers): they submitted their book for a free appraisal, without any obligation or expectation.  Now, they receive the best long-term relationship-based service we can offer, and we hope they will return to us again and again - you can see here that many of them already do.
Why don't you do the same?  An appraisal costs nothing, and if your book doesn't need editorial work, rest assured we will tell you.  

Friendly, personal service is our trademark - work with an editor, not an app!

WHAT TYPE OF APPRAISAL DO I NEED?


BETA-READER'S APPRAISAL

If you want comprehensive feedback regarding your book's genre, narrative, prose, plot, storyline and structure, character development and credibility, with the reader experience at its centre, our BETA-READER'S APPRAISAL is what you need.  We will read your book in full and may present our observations in a linear or categorical order.
A beta-read also includes our honest advice regarding your book's proofing, grammar, layout and styling.  Simply put, we will advise of all technical and creative points of note that we think the author should be aware of, in a methodical, constructive report.


FREE EDITORIAL APPRAISAL

Unlike a beta-read, our EDITORIAL APPRAISAL is free, and does not routinely provide feedback and advice regarding your book's content, characters or story.  We don't usually read the book in full (though may have already done so) but an appropriately significant sample of it, so that we are able to present an honest opinion of the condition of your book technically rather than creatively.  Of course, if we spot glaring discrepancies in the narrative you can trust us to let you know, but generally the purpose of our editorial appraisal is to assess what proofing, styling and layout work is required in order to eradicate all grammatical errors, ready for publishing.


All books we work with are automatically listed for life in our FEATURED BOOK LISTINGS.

It's time to launch that manuscript..!
