Cornerstones is the #1 transatlantic literary consultancy. We are the writer’s friend, and we believe your story matters. Come and share your story with us!

Whether you’re on your first draft or are ready to submit, writing a book doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. Cornerstones has been in business since 1998 and is a full transatlantic editorial consultancy, working with writers at every stage of their project, from evaluation to full line editing to workshopping. We have a large range of editors who work with us, and customize our editorial services for the author’s needs. Our editors are agented and published writers, senior agents and acquiring editors at major publishing houses. We provide help at every level.

We also act as scouts for agents. We’re writers too, and believe in sharing our knowledge with you. Why not start right now with an initial consultation at no charge of your synopsis and first 10 pages?

In 2018, we launched our online self-editing course, Edit Your Novel, based on On Editing: How to Edit Your Novel the Professional Way by Helen Corner-Bryant and Kathryn Price (John Murray, May 2018). Apply now!
