Personalised feedback improves your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. The Book Club book Northanger Abbey is the first novel by Jane Austen, one of Britain's most loved novelists. Catherine Morland, seventeen, has left her village for the first time and is living in the town of Bath. She goes to dances, the theatre, and talks to her new friends Isabella Thorpe and Eleanor Tilney, who lives at Northanger Abbey and has a rather attractive brother... Catherine learns some lessons about life - about friends, about money, and of course, about love. Geoff says: "This is Jane Austen's first novel. Our heroine loves books and is always reading the scary popular "gothic" stories of the time - which makes for many funny moments. We read the original text of Northanger Abbey, which is relatively short (approx 77000 words)."

LOOKING FOR: PICTURE BOOKS, CHAPTER BOOKS, MG, YA Lil is a Senior Editor at Hachette Children's. She has well over 15 years experience in the publishing industry, working for major publishers and literary agents too.  For twelve years, Lil was a Senior Commissioning Editor at Working Partners Ltd – the creatives behind massive commercial hits such as Beast Quest, Warriors and the Daisy Meadows series. There she created globally successful concepts for every age group and developed storylines so the books were unputdownable. Lil is also an author in her own right: she has written 6 books under her own name, and ghost written many others under various pseudonyms.  In every age level, Lil would like to see originality - particularly in voice. A strong character with depth, venturing on a quest that's never been undertaken before will get her excited. The 'quest' doesn't have to be epic in scale, it could be as small as petting the next-door neighbour's dog, or getting the good looking new kid to notice you, it just has to be something a reader will want to invest in. She also loves humour and is happy to see anything quirky (perhaps even downright silly!).  For picture books, Lil would like you to submit a covering letter, and 1 complete manuscript, double-spaced, with spreads marked out, in a single word or PDF doc. For chapter books, MG and YA, please send a covering letter, the first three chapters and a synopsis, double spaced, in a single Word or PDF doc.
