Blue Pencil Agency
Manuscript assessments from editors with direct publishing house and literary agency experience.
Blue Pencil Agency offers editorial reports from a team of professional writers, published authors, and editors with backgrounds at major UK publishers including Orion, Headline, Transworld, and Constable. Their standard editorial report runs 7 to 9 pages covering structure, narrative, plot, and character development, with a Platinum option that adds a marked-up manuscript and Zoom session. Editors specialise across a wide range of genres, with particular strength in crime, romance, women’s fiction, and historical fiction. They also offer a Pitch to Agent service for writers approaching submission stage.
