Terms & Conditions

Agent Pitch Test

What you're buying: The Agent Pitch Test costs £95 and includes one assessment of a literary agent approach email, with a score out of 10 and 200–500 words of personalised written feedback.

Delivery: Your feedback will be emailed to you within one working day of purchase and receipt of your completed submission. One working day is 24 hours on the days Monday-Friday.

Submission limits: Maximum 500 words. The service covers one approach email only, not a synopsis, manuscript or sample chapters.

What's not included: Rewriting your email, reviewing revised drafts, ongoing correspondence or introductions to literary agents.

Professional opinion: Feedback represents Scarlett Thomas's professional judgement. No guarantee of literary agent representation, manuscript requests or publication is made.

Confidentiality: You retain copyright in your work. Your submission will be treated confidentially and used only to provide the service and administer your order, except where disclosure is legally required. It will not be published or used for promotional purposes without your permission.

Cancellation: You normally have a statutory 14-day cancellation right for services purchased online. If you expressly request that work begins within that period, you may be charged proportionately for work undertaken if you cancel before completion. Once the service has been fully performed, your cancellation right will end if you have given the legally required prior consent and acknowledgement. Your other statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
