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.
