So, you've written a book - it's probably taken you hundreds of hours, you've invested a huge amount of effort already! Unfortunately, getting published just isn't that easy and finding an agent to represent you is probably even more difficult.

Make sure you give your manuscript the best possible chance when it arrives on an agent's desk. Your work needs to be polished to perfection - great plot, strong characters - writing that keeps the reader turning those pages.

The consultants at Writing Ltd - many of whom have worked as literary agents or editors within publishing houses - can help writers make the most of their writing. They can offer advice at any stage of the publishing/writing process. The appraisal services we offer provide constructive criticism, including suggestions for improvements, identify strengths in the writing or characters, pin-point holes in the plot, etc. etc. (And, we'd just like to mention - Writing Ltd has strong links within the agenting and publishing industry and if we spot that literary gem which we believe might have best-seller qualities, you can be sure we'll contact you!)
