Book in a 121 with a top literary agent to get feedback and advice on her manuscript - and who knows, the agent might want to represent you (just like what happened to Sam Parks last year).
Judith is a novelist and lecturer. She began her career as a non-fiction commissioning editor for Hodder & Stoughton and currently leads the MA Creative Writing programme at the University of Winchester. She also provides mentoring services for Jericho Writers and leads writing workshops at colleges and libraries across the south of England. She has written extensively for children, but now writes exclusively for adults.
Her first adult novel, Snegurochka is set in Kyiv in the early 90s. Birdeye is her second. Both are published by Salt.
Judith's specialisms are general and literary fiction; writing for young readers; narrative nonfiction.
Please send in a sample of your writing of no more than 3k words so Judith can get a sense of your writing, plus one or two sentences of what you would like to discuss, by 31st March 2026 to [email protected].
A 121 with Judith costs £35 for a 15-minute session where she will give you feedback on your words and takes place at the Marsham Court Hotel.
