Consultations Consultations are for committed writers wishing to get their work noticed by agents, TV / film producers, or publishers. You may have the seed of an idea and want to know if it’s marketable. You may have a finished manuscript, and be struggling with your synopsis and submission letter. We'll Help You We’ll brainstorm the selling points of your work and come up with a strategy to get your manuscript noticed. We can help you write your pitch. If an agent’s requested one, we can work on a marketing plan. Your publishing options We can discuss the pros and cons of different agents and publishers. You’ll be told about other options such as: mainstream publishing, 50:50 publishing, independent publishing, self-publishing and e-publishing.

The Internet
We’ll explain free strategies to promote your work on the Internet. You’ll learn simple tricks that will send hundreds of visitors to your website and boost your online branding.

TV, radio and newspapers

Consultations are usually with Stephanie J Hale or one of our screenplay consultants. They can be held in person or on the phone.

“Having started the year as an unpublished writer with not much more
than the germ of an idea for a children's book, I now have a finished
book, an agent and at least one interested publisher.”
