Work With Me

I’m always happy to hear from authors, publishers and literary organisations looking to collaborate. If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.

What I do

I review traditionally published and indie books across speculative fiction, historical fiction and literary fiction.

Reviews are posted on The Second Draft and, where appropriate, Goodreads and Instagram.

I enjoy speaking to authors about their work, creative process and the ideas behind their books.

I’m open to guest essays, Q&As and features that fit the tone of The Second Draft.

Have something a little different in mind?

I’m always happy to hear interesting ideas.

What I review

Genres I enjoy

  • Fantasy
  • Science Fiction

Occasionally:

  • Romance
  • Mystery
  • Narrative non-fiction

My approach

Every review on The Second Draft is independent and reflects my genuine opinion. Receiving an ARC or review copy never guarantees a positive review. My aim is always to write thoughtful, balanced reviews that help readers decide whether a book is right for them.

Where your work may appear

Before you get in touch

  • Digital ARCs are preferred.
  • I can’t guarantee a review date unless agreed in advance.
  • I reserve the right to decline requests that aren’t a good fit for the site.
  • All reviews are honest and independent.
