Our Submission Critique
 | Are you ready to submit your synopsis and sample chapters to agents or
publishers, but worried about whether you are presenting your work in the best
possible way? |
| Do you want to find out how you can give your work its best chance when
you submit it to
agents or publishers? |
| You'll get just a few moments to
convince the reader to take a closer look, so your submission material needs to
work really hard and to give the best possible presentation of your work. |
We have introduced this service by popular demand. It will give you a professional view of your submission material and
clear suggestions for any improvements.
| The Submission Critique
Service will look at your submission package –
the outline of a non-fiction work or the synopsis of your novel and
your sample chapters. If you would like us to do so, we will also
advise you on your submission letter and any biography or other
material you may be planning to include. Although we would
generally recommend that the submission package should not consist
of more than 5,000 words, you can include a total of up to 10,000
words for assessment if you wish. |
| The editor will be an experienced professional with many years
of experience in editing and the skill to advise you on how to
improve your submission material. This service requires a rounded
knowledge of the publishing business, considerable
expertise and familiarity with the market.
|
| Send your submission material to us as an email attachment in Word
or RTF, and we will also comment on the layout and presentation.
|
| The Submission Critique Service provides
constructive criticism and specific suggestions, showing how
you can rework the synopsis and sample chapters to improve
them and give yourself a better chance of finding an
agent or publisher. |

What it costs
The fee for the Submission Critique Service is £90. This
includes assessing the synopsis or outline itself, sample chapters, your
submission letter, and any other material you may want to include up to a
maximum of 10,000 words. In the case of this particular service the
expertise required is greater than the reading time, which is why the fee
is relatively high.
This fee is payable in advance.
Please send your material in one unzipped Word file, not as separate
files.
