Rationale
 
As Literary Agents for many years we have received thousands of speculative submissions.  Given the ratio of produced to published work we, like all other agents operating in this field, found that 98% of submissions were not ready for publication.  Providing free assessments to writers was no longer an economically viable proposition, and we were left with two options: to return submissions that did not make the grade with a brief comment and leave matters thus, or to additionally offer a consultancy and advisory service on a fee paying basis for those who are interested. This is what we have now elected to do.
