“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.”

— Lucie Donahue

  • Priority revisions ranked by impact
  • Line-level polish targets for clarity, pace, and voice
  • Practical next steps for your next revision pass

  • Structural notes on pacing, stakes, scene pressure, and clarity
  • Clear revision priorities you can execute in one pass

Option 3 — Revision Check (£35) (optional follow-up)

An optional follow-up after you receive your report. If you’ve completed the priority revisions and want a senior re-read to confirm the changes have landed, choose Revision Check. You’ll receive a brief outcome note on readiness for the next stage. Revision Check does not guarantee publication.

  • Senior re-read focused on the priority revisions
  • Brief outcome note: ready for final consideration or needs one more pass
  • Resubmission to the final selection queue, with no publication guarantee

Pay £35 via Stripe After payment, we’ll email you the Revision Check upload link.

Tip: keep your original receipt email — we’ll use it to match your revision to the first report.
