Manuscript Editing

It feels amazing to finish the first draft of a manuscript, be it a novel, short-story, the next blockbuster screenplay, a paranormal romance, an epic fantasy adventure or a hard science fiction escapade

After the euphoria fades, though, you may realise that more work is needed before you can begin the publication process. 

If you want to be successful in an increasingly competitive market, you need a manuscript critique and professional editing. Whether you're seeking acceptance from a traditional publishing house or are looking to self-publish, Brontë can smooth out your writing and provide the critical commentary you need to take your manuscript to the next level

At Brontë, I want to support you at every stage of writing, regardless of how much experience you have as a writer
