Introducing PAGES
An editor in your corner, every month
Last week I mentioned I’d been thinking about opening up a small group of writers to work with directly. Today I’m opening the doors.
It’s called PAGES, and here’s what it is.
Each month, you send me up to 1,500 words of your work-in-progress. I read it properly, not a quick glance, an actual editorial read and send you back developmental feedback within 7 working days. We’re talking the kind of notes I give my paying clients: what’s working, what isn’t, where the story is losing its grip, where a sentence is doing too much, where a scene is doing too little.
You also get:
A private Slack channel with me and the other PAGES members — ask me questions, share wins, get unstuck between submissions
A monthly 60-minute group call where I teach a craft topic and answer questions live
Direct access to me for quick questions
20% off any full-manuscript edits you book with me directly
It’s £250/month. Capped at 40 writers, because that’s the most I can give proper attention to.
For the first 15 members, I’m offering a founding rate of £200/month — locked in for life. After those 15 spots go, the price moves to £250 and stays there.
If you’re working on something real, a novel, a memoir, a non-fiction project, anything book-shaped and you’ve been wishing you had an editor reading along with you as you write, this is that.

I would love to sign up to PAGES which would really help me with my new memoir THE NUN’S DAUGHTER
Hey Patrick,
First of all, let me say that I enjoy watching your content on YouTube.
PAGES is a very intriguing offer!
I have two questions about it. Maybe you can answer them and help me find out if this initiative is a good fit for me.
First thing is that I'm writing a fantasy story in Dutch. I actually started writing in English but soon found out I can express myself more clearly—and with more nuance-- in Dutch. This would mean I would have to translate each submission into English. Do you think this could work?
Secondly, I'm currently halfway through my first draft, so I would presumably be submitting from the start of the novel, while working on the later chapters. Do you see that as an issue?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Keep up the great work!
