Postgraduate Review

Sample Postgraduate Review

Reviewer: - Elfrea Lockley, author Octopus Books and MA Professional Writing graduate

What powerful stories – I have found myself thinking back to the séance scene and the revelation in the garden since first reading your manuscript. Above all, I like the way in which your narrator's misgivings about telling these stories force you to reflect on themes of gender and social mores. Your obvious struggle to come to terms with a world that is not the black and white place it seemed in childhood makes your exploration of ideas subtle and thoughtful.

Professional Writer Review

Sample Professional Writer Review

STOP PRESS: this book idea found a publisher! It was published in April 09 by How To Books as Work From Home by Judy Heminsley.

 

Reviewer: Susannah Marriott - Editor of self-help books for publishers including Dorling Kindersley, Hamlyn, Barron's.

I need this book now! It's a timely and well-researched self-help title, but more importantly in terms of publisher-appeal, sells an aspirational lifestyle to a growing segment of the workforce.

One-to-one Mentoring

Sample three-month mentoring plan

After sending in your manuscript or synopsis, you will be allocated a suitable tutor, who will read and assess your submission then work with you over a three-month period to develop your storyline or structure and polish your writing.

Professional Advice
