Can't I just send in a check? Don't independent editors take on everything? No. A screening process is required to determine whether Third Draft services are a match for the needs of your current project.
Third Draft specializes in works of fiction.
Submissions are accepted worldwide from authors of suspense, thrillers, mystery, historical, fantasy, mainstream, YA and literary fiction.
Poetry, non-fiction, picture books, science fiction or horror.
Yes, all the time.
Authors may submit the first 5 pages of their novel along with either a synopsis or an outline. Please include the word “submission” in the subject line of your email. No reading fees are charged at any time.
Please note that while every e-submission sent to Third Draft is promptly read, due to the volume of e-mails received, Third Draft will respond only when editorial services appear to be a match for your work.

Within 1-2 weeks if it’s a match.
