Manuscript feedback
As an experienced poet, editor and critic, I offer a personalised feedback service to poets at any stage of development who want to improve their writing and develop their practice. As well as draft pamphlets and collection typescripts I can look at smaller sets of poems, but I typically ask for a minimum of 10 pages/poems in the first instance so that I can get a feel for your work.
Prices are negotiable depending on what sort of feedback will work best for you: annotated pages, a typed commentary, a phone/Zoom call or a face-to-face meeting are all options. As a rough guide, for a small set of poems I charge around £10 per page/poem, and for a larger set I quote a fixed fee for the project (usually around £450 for feedback on a 50-page collection). If you’re interested please get in touch, letting me know what stage you’re at and what sort of input you think you would benefit from, and I’ll get back to you with some potential options. In some circumstances, a longer-term mentoring arrangement might be possible.
