FAQs
Can I mix and match the 4 packages?
Yes. You can mix and match the packages e.g. if you want me to read 10k words, write a written report and meet for a video meeting, then that would be Package 1 + 2. If you want me to read more than 10k words, then you add on the extras from Package 3. If you want me to read the whole novel without a report and then meet for an hour, that would be Package 3 + Package 1. You do the math!
What kind of things will we discuss in the one-hour video session?
We can discuss whatever it is about your writing that you feel you want help with e.g. planning a novel, researching for a novel, drafting & re-drafting, extracts of your writing, how to prepare a submission package for an agent or publisher, what to expect from the publishing process…and more! We can agree before the session what you want to cover.
What sort of things do you write about in your reports?
When I’m reading your work, I’ll be looking at whatever you’ve asked me to focus on. Beyond that, I’ll also be considering what agents and publishers might be looking for in the current publishing world and how well I think your work might fit with that. I’ll be offering you my opinion and my advice based on my experience. It’s up to you if you agree or not!
Do you work with writers who are writing any genre?
I’m happy to work with any genre – be aware that my personal experience of writing genres includes the following: historical, saga, romance, comedy, contemporary women’s fiction, literary. However, I’ve always read very widely and so I’m happy to look at work from other genres such as science fiction, fantasy, romantasy, thriller, crime, domestic noir etc. Ask me about genres if you want to discuss further.
Re extreme content, I’m fine with swearing in books – there’s plenty in my contemporary novels! However, I am not a fan of ultra-violence in any genre and thus I’m not the mentor for you if your work includes any sort of ultra-violence within any genre, particularly horror. Also, see Terms and Conditions for my terms on work that is considered excessively offensive.
Will you be annotating my work and putting comments in the margins?
No. I won’t be editing your work. If you want a detailed edit, have a look at the editing page for top editor Tara Loder, who provides editing services. As your mentor, I read your work and then write a report with my opinion and advice after reading.
Do you have a list of Terms and Conditions for using the services on this site?
Yes. They give more details on each service. Please read the full list of Terms and Conditions. By proceeding with any purchase of any service on this site, you are declaring that you agree to them in full.
