Editorial Services

Hi everyone,

My points are piling up and points mean... services! Well, a bit of money off services, at least. Has anyone tried 'How Strong is Your Book Idea?', and if so, how did you get on?

Thanks,

Fliss

Thanks, Adrian and Helen :-)

Feedback is positive under the description of the service on this site (of course!), but I thought I’d ask just in case anyone had further comments. As far as new rewards go, money off W&A workshops might prove popular. For various reasons, my ‘travelability’ is limited, but for those who are able to attend, it sounds like it’s a good experience :-)

Felicity, I attended the recent How to Hook an Agent workshop and it was excellent, very well run and I got what I wanted from it! So I can definitely recommend that, and would imagine the other services to be of a similar quality. Or at least hope they would be...

Adrian, I happened to meet Margaret Atwood years ago and she was awesome - made two nervous teenagers (my friend Mark and I) feel very comfortable. Got some interesting insights from her as well.

I have gained thousands of points, I keep accumulating them but have little use for them. Maybe they'll add a new points reward that will appeal to me.

I haven't tried How Strong is Your Book Idea, but it's wise to ask others about their experiences of any of the literary services on offer. I would find certain workshops appealing but not meet the author events.

Margaret Atwood - Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pâté.
