"Stephanie Hale is a fantastic literary consultant: not only can she advise on how to improve a manuscript, but her knowledge of the book industry is second to none. Last year, I had a novel but no idea about how to get it published. Within weeks of speaking to Stephanie, I was taken on by a top literary agent. The Oxford Literary Consultancy is the best in the UK - don't go anywhere else."
Louise Soraya Black, Pomegranate Sky.

“Having started the year as an unpublished writer with not much more than the germ of an idea for a children's book, I now have a finished book, an agent and at least one interested publisher - all thanks to the Oxford Literary Consultancy. I genuinely could not have got this far without the advice and support I've received. The Consultancy has a great deal of expertise and knows its business very well, and I'd recommend its services to any new writers who really want to know where they stand."
Sarah Loving, Too Gross, Too True.

"I have a five book contract from Hodder, and my daughter is on the cusp of a book deal. (She has an agent after following your advice in your ‘Get an Agent’ course). We found your advice invaluable, especially the advice about creating social networking interest. Her agent told her that her web presence and web profile was the main factor in taking her on – something we would not have known about had we not attended your workshop."
Karen Mannering, author.

"I had the pleasure of having Stephanie read and critique my young adult manuscript as well as generously offer savvy marketing tips about how to find an agent. Three months later, I have now been picked up by a publishing house and my debut novel is being released this year!
I am over the moon and wholeheartedly recommend any new author to use Stephanie. What makes her unique is not just her inside knowledge about the publishing industry but also her understanding of how to combine this with online marketing tips which ALL authors should know."
Hannah Davis, author of Voices of Angels.

"Karla’s got her first interview tomorrow with BBC news. Also, SKY News to follow and maybe GMTV. Without your help, this wouldn't have been possible. You’ve been an inspiration. We’re so grateful."
Pat Winters, London.

"The publishing day in Oxford created a quantum leap in my outlook, expectations, attitude and commitment. The seminar content was first class."
Graham Wendes

“With The Oxford Literary Consultancy's support I've now found a literary agent to represent me, and I'm certain none of this would have been achieved without their support, and some well-considered advice. The Oxford Literary Consultancy is very professional, but it's also friendly and easily approachable. I can't imagine that I'll ever submit a book to my agent until I've run it past Stephanie Hale and her team.”
John Kitchen, TXT.

“The ideas you put forward and your encouragement have meant that I have enjoyed a year I would never have considered possible. I entered the Solihull Slam (performance poetry) last October/November and though being knocked out in the first round, was spotted by the Birmingham Poet Laureate who asked me to enter his Six of The Best monthly slam sessions in Birmingham to discover new talent.”
Maggie Doyle, performance poet.

“The reader offered thorough, detailed, candid and well-informed feedback about my manuscript. She had engaged with my material carefully and was clearly very well-informed about the publishing industry. Her suggestions for improvements seemed very well-judged and I intend to implement nearly all of them. I would happily use this consultancy again and would recommend it to other writers.”
Dr Sarah Brown, Hetta.

“Simply invaluable. Your constructive criticism has allowed me to improve the weaker aspects of my work. Your encouragement has made it possible for me to finish my first novel, and I feel enthusiastic about it. As well as your high professionalism, I found that your human touch made a difference. Both helped me gain confidence in my writing.”
Martina Munzittu, A Deal with a Stranger.

“I found your consultancy helped enormously by steering my synopsis writing into the right channel. At least I now get asked to submit opening chapters on a regular basis.”
Ray Murray, Endgame.

“The world of publishing was a scary place for me, full of people bound to say 'no' before they'd even read a word of my novel. I felt lost, lonely and close to giving up before I'd even tried. Oxford Literary Consultancy has guided me through the process of turning an idea into a product. Stephanie Hale's [How to Hook An Agent in 7 Days] has opened my eyes. This course has helped me to work step by step towards a submission package which looks and feels professional and now I feel I have the confidence to 'sell' my work.”
Anna Pitt, Dance With Me.

"Since launching my book two weeks ago, I have received 47 newspaper, radio and magazine reports -  this Wednesday a TV show. YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP AND SOURCE OF INSPIRATION!"
John J May, author of The Origin of Specious Nonsense.
