The team:

Chris Holifield has set up WritersServices.com. She has worked for publishing houses and book clubs, and as a literary agent. She was recently Editorial Director of BCA and Deputy MD at Cassell & Co.
Charles Jones is in charge of technical development. He has been in the computer business for decades and is also a published author and journalist.

Contributors:

Michael Legat, author of 12 books for writers, is contributing a series of information-packed Factsheets for writers.
Carole Blake will contribute extracts from her highly successful book of advice for unpublished writers, From Pitch to Publication.

Chris Holifield said:

‘Unpublished writers have a difficult time trying to get someone to comment on their work, especially now that many big publishers and some literary agencies don’t read their slush piles. We hope to provide the feedback which is essential to writers to enable them to work on their writing and improve its chances of publication.

‘We want to fill a niche in the industry and help writers prepare their work for submission. We hope to work closely with agents and publishers.’

WritersServices has been set up to provide services for writers. Our experience is that it’s become harder and harder for writers to get their work published. This means that it has become even more vital for writers to get their manuscripts into shape before submitting them. We can help with this through our highly skilled team of professional editors. WritersServices offer a range of services which will help writers get their manuscripts into publishable shape, all delivered efficiently and quickly through the Internet.
