The first step is to register your manuscript using the online form. You will be asked to either:
Submit your manuscript and synopsis now
or
Give an estimated date when you will submit your manuscript and synopsis. This must be before the deadline of August 31st.
You should submit your manuscript and synopsis as a Word document.
Once your manuscript has been uploaded it will be allocated to a reader. Once the reader has completed their critique it will be posted onto your online application where you will be able to download and print it. You will receive an email when your critique is complete.
Other points:
- You may only submit one manuscript to the NWS per year.
- The critique is a final report, not the start of a conversation with your reader.
- If you do not think you will get your manuscript finished, you may submit a partial together with a synopsis. See our submission guidelines for more details.
- There is no reimbursement of the reading fee if you do not submit by 31 July.
- If you are accepted for publication you should let the NWS Organiser and the Hon Membership Secretary know as soon as possible, as your membership status will change.
- Published members (or those accepted for publication) are not eligible to join the New Writers’ Scheme.
