About
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 7–9 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.
