Litro FastTrack

Editorial feedback before your next submission.

FastTrack helps writers understand what is working, what is holding the piece back, and what to revise next.

For short fiction, essays, and poetry under 4,000 words. Delivered within 10 business days after payment and upload. This is an editorial feedback service and does not guarantee publication.

“The notes gave me the fuel to move forward with a story I realised I was polishing without really improving.”

— Lucie Donahue

Start with FastTrack — £45

Use this if the piece feels close but still unclear, if editors keep passing and you do not know why, or if you want a serious editorial diagnosis before paying for deeper editing.

  • Clear diagnosis of what is working and what is blocking the piece
  • Priority revisions ranked by impact
  • Line-level polish targets for clarity, pace, structure, and voice
  • Practical next steps for your next revision pass
  • Submission-readiness note

Limited weekly capacity: we take on a small number of FastTrack pieces each week so every report gets proper editorial attention.

— Townsend Walker

Revision Check — £35

Revision Check is an optional follow-up for writers who have already received a FastTrack report and revised from it. It is a short verification pass against the original priority revisions.

  • Senior re-read focused on whether the key revisions have landed
  • Brief outcome note on what still blocks readiness, if anything
  • Best used after you have made the main changes from your FastTrack report

Add Revision Check — £35

Revision Check does not guarantee publication.

Full Manuscript Assessment — £99

Choose this for novel openings, novellas, memoirs, and book-length work where the main questions are structure, pacing, stakes, reader grip, and commercial positioning.

  • Opening-page hook and reader grip
  • Pacing, stakes, scene pressure, and structure
  • Clear revision priorities for the next development pass
