“I wanted to say how good my TLC online writer’s surgery was. I found my editor thoughtful and fun and extremely skilled. She helped focus my attention on whose story I was telling, which was what I wanted, and inspired me to keep going.”
TLC Online Writer’s Surgery May 2020
The cost for this service is £160 (inclusive of VAT). Our fees include VAT which is applicable to all UK residents. If you are ordinarily resident outside of the UK, there is no VAT payable. The payment portal will automatically calculate your tax rate for you based on your country of residence.
You can submit your work, and pay through our secure online portal here. You will need:
* A writing sample of up to 2,500 words of prose fiction or non-fiction (or 2-3 poems)
* A one-page (maximum) synopsis or summary document
You will then be asked to pay the full amount of £160 (this includes VAT). We will be in touch to confirm who your TLC editor will be, and to arrange a timeslot for your session. We will also send you a goal-setting worksheet which we ask you to please fill out and return to us.
We will provide you with a secure login link and password for your session so that you can ‘log in’ at the allocated time. We will send you a recording of your session so that during the surgery, you can really focus on your conversation with your editor.
Please note that it is your responsibility to submit your goal-setting sheet to TLC one week before the session, and to turn up at the allotted time. Sessions are fixed at a maximum one hour. No refunds will be provided for cancellations less than 7 business days in advance of your reserved timeslot, or for no-shows.
Engaging in one-to-one feedback can be a hugely valuable exercise – it is the cornerstone on which TLC’s work with writers is based. Do make the most of it, and we wish you a fruitful and inspiring hour with your editor.
