Tell me about your manuscript

Fill in whatever you know. Nothing here is binding, and a rough answer is better than no answer — I'll come back to you within a working day.

Your name

Email address

What is it?

What form is it in?

Roughly how long?

A page count is fine. If you have no idea at all, say so.

When do you need it?

What would you like?

Typing the manuscript

The free 1,000-word sample first

Formatting for submission to agents or publishers

A second proofing pass against the original

Illustrations or photographs placed in the text

Anything else I should know

Please don't attach the manuscript to this form. Once I've replied, you can send photographs, scans, or files by email or a link — whichever suits you.

What happens next

I reply within one working day, usually sooner.
I'll ask for a few sample pages so I can see the handwriting.
I type your first thousand words free, so you can judge the work.
You get a firm price and a delivery date, with no obligation to go ahead.

Enquiries are answered personally. I don't add anyone to a mailing list and I don't follow up more than once.
