I heard tell at a very young age that there was this magical job that allowed you to make a living from reading books and from that day forth I did everything I could to get one for myself. I have worked extensively in both magazine and book publishing. I started out at the literary agency Conville & Walsh, moving on to do stints at both Conde Nast and The Erotic Review. I then did the internship at Curtis Brown, before finally deciding on publishing role at Random House. I devour everything, from the highly commercial to the impossibly high brow, though I have a particular love of quirky British literature and gruesome horror.

Why is it important?

The key to any book is a structure and narrative. I will offer a broad review of these aspects as well as a general overview of the extract as a whole, discussing both the positive and the negative effects of your plot and characters, drawing attention to anything that interrupts the fluidity and fluency of your writing. This will then help you reassess the direction your book takes and the storylines you develop.

Why is it important?

Naturally, the more you ask me to read, the more succinct a review I can offer. This service will tackle not only the effect of your opening chapters and a detailed overview of characterisation and plot, but also an in-depth discussion of structure, narrative, speech, author voice and marketing appeal. I will also endeavour to list any recurring errors in the book to ensure that the final product is as clean and readable as possible.
