“ 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
1. Typewritten manuscripts sent to us by post are acceptable, with the proviso that you keep a copy, as we can never guarantee its safe return.
You don’t have to include an SAE, but do ensure your address is included in the covering submission form you send. We return your manuscript and critiques by the same postage type you use when sending to us – we will use 2nd class, 1st class or recorded postage as appropriate.

2. 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.
