Manuscripts Online aims to promote authors' work as much as possible and to provide a support network for authors. In addition to manuscript assessment, Manuscripts Online gives assessed authors—at no extra charge—a presence on our website, in two main ways.

First, every author assessed by Manuscripts Online can have their contact and other details (such as genre and influences) posted on the website. This gives authors an initial web presence and aims to foster contact between authors, interested readers, and industry professionals.

Second, if the assessed manuscript is judged to be of high quality, or otherwise catches our eye, an excerpt from it may be posted (with the author's permission and contact details) on the Manuscripts Online website for general viewing. The purpose is threefold: to promote the author's work, to promote the service, and to give viewers a good read.

Our guiding principle with web posting is that of opening doors for writers, getting people talking to each other, and getting their work 'out there'. We hope to develop more opportunities in this area soon.
