Professional Feedback
The Literary Consultancy is the UK’s longest-established editorial consultancy, and was the first of its kind set up in the UK in 1996. TLC believes that fair, objective feedback can unlock the creative potential of writers at all levels, from emerging to professional. For manuscript assessment, a reader will be hand-selected for you to offer detailed written editorial feedback on your literary project. We accept submissions of fiction, non-fiction, short stories, poetry, scripts and screenplays.
Being A Writer members receive 15% off Manuscript Assessments
Mentoring
Available online with a creative writing specialist mentor (Classic) or in person with an industry mentor (Premium), TLC’s flagship Chapter and Verse mentoring scheme offers valuable one-to-one feedback over a period of 12-18 months. Also included is a full manuscript assessment of the completed project, and an intimate Industry Day with a literary agent and publisher. TLC also pledges to plant one tree in the National Forest for each new mentee as part of your welcome pack, which includes a Writers’ Notebook and TLC ballpoint pen.
