“I cannot tell you how helpful this read was. The notes gave me the fuel to move forward with a story I realised I was polishing without really improving.”
“I'm recommending the FastTrack report to everybody.”

Full Manuscript Assessment
Novels, novellas, and book-length nonfiction
FastTrack is built for short-form work. The Full Manuscript Assessment is a different service entirely: a structural read across the whole manuscript — architecture, pacing, narrative control, and what the work needs to become submission-ready.
Not a pass over the first chapter. The full thing.
Editorial Development Intensive
SelectiveSecond-stage editorial development — after assessment
£400
Selective second-stage editorial development for manuscripts with clear potential. An assessment tells you what needs to change. This is the work of changing it — structural direction, in-manuscript engagement, a development letter, and a revision plan.
Offered to writers whose work is ready for this stage. Accepted based on manuscript readiness and editorial fit.
