Cornerstones Literary Consultancy Company Profile

We believe that if we can tell a writer in five minutes what it may take them months to discover, that’s a good thing!

For years we’ve sustained the ranking of No. 1 UK literary consultancy; now we’ve launched in America, making us the first transatlantic literary consultancy.

Cornerstones has over 60 editorial consultants, all chosen for their agenting, publishing or writing experience. Every report is checked in-house to ensure a consistency and quality of advice that is paramount to our service. Dionne McCulloch, our US managing editor; Ayisha Malik, our UK managing editor; Alex Hammond, our editorial assistant and social media guru; and myself are all on hand to answer your queries and guide your progress. Kathryn Price, my co-director for ten years, now works purely in editorial.

Cornerstones is a skills-based company and we strongly believe that self-editing techniques can be taught. We regularly give lectures at universities, writer conferences and workshops. Check out our website and Twitter feed for upcoming events and discussions.
