“I was thrilled to have won a bursary for a TLC Free Read for my novel ‘The Silence’. At the time I was struggling to be objective about my work, unable to see flaws or the weak spots, and I’d lost most of the enthusiasm for my novel. Alex was able to give me considered, professional advice and a real insight into the work itself. It allowed me to look at my writing afresh and helped me to properly hone the story. It also gave me the confidence to find an agent and after signing a two-book deal with Thomas & Mercer ‘The Silence’ will be published in March 2020.”
