Competition Ready

Get your first 10 pages and synopsis working together

In a world where first impressions matter, I will help you refine your first ten pages and perfect your synopsis to ensure they stand out.

Participating in writing competitions with reputable publishers, state writing centres, and conference competitions, or attending pitching sessions, are excellent ways to prepare your manuscript for submission. Your first ten pages and synopsis are crucial—they will either captivate the reader and leave them wanting more or result in a polite ‘pass.’

I will:

• Read Your first ten pages (up to 1500 words) and your 1-page synopsis
• Provide Feedback I’ll comment on the problem(s) I find and suggest fixes. My feedback will include:
  • How to focus your synopsis and keep to the core storyline
    • Character or narrative voice
    • Story premise
    • Inciting incident
    • Protagonist’s objects of desire, and much more…
• A One-Hour Phone or Zoom Consultation A week after I send my comments, we’ll meet via Zoom to discuss my analysis and work through the problem.

Investment: $350
