Founded in 1998 by Helen Corner-Bryant, Cornerstones is the world’s leading transatlantic literary consultancy. They offer a range of editorial services from a handpicked group of editors who are published and bestselling authors, respected agents, and senior editors at major publishing houses. Their editorial packages include industry-style reader’s reports, one-to-one mentoring, final-stage copy-editing and proofreading, and an intensive Edit Your Novel masterclass online course (based on their book, On Editing: How to Edit Your Novel the Professional Way, which was published as a lead title by John Murray, Hachette, in 2018).

Professional Writing Academy

Professional Writing Academy was founded by digital education pioneers Susannah Marriott and Christina Bunce who’ve been designing and teaching online writing courses since 2009. They’re the team behind the world’s first fully online Master’s degree in writing, and teach on a digital learning platform they designed specifically for writers. Their vision was to create an accessible place online where writers could come to learn regardless of their background, level of experience and location. PWA’s partners include Faber Writing Academy, Granta, New Writing North and Jericho Writers.
