The course

Make your submission package stand out with advice from our experts

Do you need a professional eye on your submission package before sending it out to agents? 

Our reviewers are published authors and writing tutors with a track record and extensive experience in the industry. They’ll read your first 10,000 words, synopsis and query letter and give you feedback in the form of a manuscript mark-up and notes, with specific, practical advice on how to make your submission package shine. You’ll also have a follow-up Zoom call to discuss any questions and next steps.
