TLC Free Reads return for 2026

Literature Works has partnered again with The Literary Consultancy, the UK’s leading editorial consultancy, to offer low-income writers in the South West the opportunity to get free professional, constructive feedback on their writing.

The TLC Free Reads scheme is open to writers across all forms and genres and is a brilliant opportunity to progress with your writing. We can offer Manuscript Assessments, Submission Package Reports and Editor One-to-Ones. Find out more about which kind of feedback might suit you on our new TLC Free Reads page.

You can apply up until 7th December 2026 – learn more about what’s required and download an application form here.
