Free submission critique for two under represented writers

,

On Thursday 16th June, in conjunction with Wargrave Literary Festival https://bit.ly/3Gjy5ot, I’ll be reading five writers’ submission packages and meeting them to give feedback. But we’d like to open this up to authors who can’t attend.

So we're offering a submission assessment and a 15 minute zoom call with me, to two under-represented or #ownvoices writers. Please use this link https://bit.ly/3wNIVin to submit your query and we’ll choose two writers - randomly - by the end of June.

For anyone wanting to know what kind of feedback I provide - I’ll take a look at your submission letter, synopsis and the first three chapters of your novel. I’ll then give you feedback on the 15 minute Zoom call to help you make your submission package as strong as it possibly can be. I tend to offer feedback on the first three chapters in terms of strength of writing, characterisation and whether I can suggest something that might help increase pacing or world building.

My particular interests are crime/thrillers, SFF, historical and commercial and bookclub fiction but happy to look at any fiction projects.
