Pitching Support

You’ve planned, you’ve drafted, you’ve revised – and now you’ve got a polished manuscript that is in pretty great shape. You’re ready to try and get your story out into the world – but you wish you felt more confident about the whole process.

Or maybe you’ve been querying for a while but you’ve got nothing to show for it. Now you’re wondering if your submissions materials are what’s letting you down – or if your manuscript needs more work.

Either way, there are some nasty niggles in the back of your mind that simply won’t go away.

Is my query letter clear and compelling?
Is my synopsis pulling its weight?
Worried writer of LGBTQ+ fiction
Will my opening pages wow an agent?
Is my manuscript really ready to pitch?

Don’t panic.

You don’t have to work it all out alone.

If I’ve already done a manuscript evaluation for you and we’ve decided your manuscript is ready to pitch, then let me take a look at your submission materials and help you polish them up.

If you haven’t worked with me before, then we’ll need to do a manuscript evaluation together first, so I can help you work out if your manuscript is really ready to pitch.

My Pitch Package Audit will give you clear feedback on what is and isn’t working in your submission materials, as well as detailed suggestions for how to improve them. With three rounds of edits on your query letter and synopsis, this package will really make them shine!

Once we’re happy that your documents are as solid as they can be, you’ll be ready to start querying with confidence – but if you need some guidance here too, my Personalised Pitch Strategy package will help you query the right agents, at the right time.
