It’s very easy to submit your work to Fiction Feedback.

Read How to Submit for the details, especially regarding Novel Extracts. See Plays, Poetry and Short Stories for more info on submitting work in those genres.

Once you have your work ready for submission, click on the submission form

At the end of the form you’ll be asked to attach your document; both are emailed to us.

We then send you an electronic invoice, usually within 24 hours. You pay securely by credit or debit card, or by PayPal.
If you’d rather send a cheque, that’s fine. The form gives you this opportunity.

If you want to submit your work by post, please see Postal Submissions.

“I am really grateful (and pleased!) with both appraisals and feel I have more than had my money's worth. Both reviewers have taken the time to thoroughly read my novel extract and comment on several areas, not just one or two, that either impressed them or they felt could be tweaked. I'm very, very happy and will definitely be recommending Fiction Feedback to my writer friends” ~ RB

Postal Submissions

– you must make sure you keep a copy, as we can’t guarantee its safe return;
– please include return postage and SAE for your appraisal(s).

2. We’re afraid our review rates for posted manuscripts are a little higher. This is because handling the manuscript and passing it around reviewers incurs postage and packing costs as well as extra administration time.
