All our editors are established authors with significant teaching experience or respected publishing professionals. Our team will match you with an editor based on the genre and style of your book.
For an additional fee of £105, you can add on a 30-minute consultation with your editor. This consultation will take place within one month of your receipt of the submission report. You will be able to use this time to discuss your editor’s feedback, ask questions and explore possible revisions and suggested changes to your pitch package.
Before submitting your submission package for a report, we recommend that you read our advice on how to write a one-page synopsis and how to craft your letter to a literary agent.
Please add the submission report to your basket. Immediately after purchase, you'll be sent a form to let us know little more about your work-in-progress and if you have any specific concerns that you’d like your editor to address.
We will then send you instructions on how to upload the first 10,000 words of the novel or memoir, your one-page synopsis, and your agent pitch letter (max. 500 words).
Your form and uploaded work will help us select the right editor for your novel or memoir from our experienced team.
You can purchase a report at any time. After we receive your uploaded submission package, we will be in touch with details of your editor within seven working days. Your report will be returned to you within 30 days of receipt of your work.
If you have any questions about our submission reports or available editors, please email students@curtisbrowncreative.co.uk
