Ready for real, honest feedback on your story?

Send through your manuscript and Mary will provide a detailed written assessment during your 30-minute 1:1 session to talk it through together.

These are relaxed, informal chats but don’t let that fool you.

You’ll walk away with valuable, actionable insights from someone who has been on both sides of the industry, as a self-published and traditionally published author, and with extensive experience working behind the scenes in publishing.

Whether you need help strengthening your story, refining your structure or just want that extra layer of confidence before moving forward, this is a powerful opportunity to get personalised guidance on your work.

Perfect for authors who are self publishing or trying their luck the traditional way.

What to expect:

  • A very relaxed, informal chat with Mary in the breakout space

  • a detailed written manuscript assessment

  • clear, actionable insights on how to move forward from here

What to bring:
