Bring out the author in you!

Set up to provide expert editorial advice and manuscript assessment, the Children's Book Consultancy is the leading literary advice service offering consultancy exclusively to children's authors. So if you are looking for professional help to improve your writing for children, look no further than CBC!

Using our years of experience of working in children's publishing combined with a strong working knowledge of the current market, we offer the aspiring author a rounded, constructively critical report on their work.

Whether you write purely for pleasure or are aiming for publication, it's often difficult to distance yourself sufficiently from your work to judge its strengths and weaknesses - which is where CBC comes in. We will give you a completely objective view, advising you exactly how to improve your work from an editorial point of view, including plot, pace, structure, character development as well as advice on style, spelling, grammar etc.

You may be looking for the hints and tips that only an insider can provide - an insight into the step-by-step process of publishing a book, formats for writing children's books or how children's book publishers view new authors.

Whether you choose to send us a few chapters or a full-length manuscript, a CBC report will help to bring out the author in you!
