We’re planning for our next Book-Fix online sessions and what we’ve learned since launch is how important it is for writers to have a safe and professional space to talk about their ideas, writing, pitch and positioning. So far we’ve explored thrillers, Victorian and Japanese historical fiction, children’s epics, femgore, book group fiction and more – and we’ve been blown away by the talent that’s out there. So if you’re struggling to get a brilliant idea going, sign up for one of our online tutorials (from £80-£150) or let us help you with developmental edits, copy edits and agent submission packages. Every writer needs an editor – and with Book-Fix you get two… Just drop us a line at [email protected]. See you on Friday 6th March.

Oh god this book! Perfectly capturing 21st century bullshittery in most entertaining and stress-inducing read. I haven’t hated a character this much in years - every idiot you’ve had misfortune to date. Thanks @faberbooks for impressing upon me the need to read it. Out 21 May.

We have one free spot in our May Book-Fix Clinic on 1st May. Whether you want an hour long deep dive or a thirty minute starter session, we promise you will leave the session with confidence in your writing and your story. @franfbrown and I are kind, supportive and offer two points of view. And we will send you away with a reading list of comps! Spread the word, and DM for details. All you need is three chapters and a synopsis so perfect for those in the early stages of planning and writing.
