Meet the Agent (Friday) : Alex Adsett

Once you’ve finished polishing your manuscript, the next step is to submit it to agents and publishers. But it’s hard for any writer to know if their work is really ready for that step – an opinion from an expert is invaluable. In this consultation, you’ll be given feedback on your work and whether or not it’s ready to submit. You’ll also have the chance to discuss where your work fits into the current marketplace and be able to talk about what your next steps should be.
