Showcase

The Literary Consultancy is excited to be working on an innovative showcase for its writing talent, initially in association with Staple Magazine. See TLC Showcase Introduction for more on the inception of the Showcase and please see below for where it is now.

Once a month we will highlight the work of one author whose work we believe deserves a platform, whether simply because our readers felt it worth championing, or whether we have helped the writer on to commercial publication.

If you enjoy reading our Showcase, please feel free to share, and let us know on Facebook or on Twitter.

“When I began The Nature of Dusk, I never believed I would ever finish it, let alone that I would eventually send it out and find an agent interested in representing me. I approached it, at first, as a distraction from work. But with the weeks and then months passing, I discovered that the manuscript was taking an increasingly large space in my mind, and that, perhaps, professional feedback would help me understand if the direction I was taking made any sense.” From the Introduction
