Literature Works are delighted to announce that we are now accepting submissions to this year's TLC Free Reads scheme
If you're a writer living in the South West of England but are finding it financially difficult to progress further then TLC Free Reads could be for you. Through this Arts Council England-funded scheme Literature Works can offer you a free opportunity to have your work read and reported back on by a professional editor from The Literary Consultancy.
The Literary Consultancy is the UK’s first and leading editorial assessment, providing honest feedback and market advice for fiction, non-fiction, poetry, short stories, scripts and screenplays.
A critical assessment of all or part of your work could really help you progress and we are offering this scheme to all serious writers in the South West area who are on low incomes.
This is a competitive process and eligible applicants will be selected based on artistic merit. Literature Works will select candidates through assessing samples of your work.
Successful candidates will be required to submit longer manuscripts to Literature Works to be forwarded to TLC in London, for a professional assessment, free of charge, so we urge you to read the terms and conditions carefully to make sure you can comply.
Free Reads is open to writers of prose (fiction, children’s, narrative non-fiction and short stories), poetry, and scripts for TV, Film, Radio or Theatre.
