When I made the decision to be an Indie author, one of the hardest parts was knowing I would lose out on the editorial and professional support you get from a traditional publisher. I knew if I was to improve I needed help. I also knew that professional support was expensive. So where to go? How could I know what I needed? Where should I start?
Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I went to The Literary Consultancy (TLC). That is how I met Joe Sedgwick. It was with his help I met the editors that have immeasurably improved my two novels and my writing in general. In this article I interview Joe, who explains what TLC do and how they can help authors with their work. I will say, by way of introduction, that getting Joe’s help was one of the best decision I ever made for my writing career.
I wasn’t paid for this article, nor to I have any arrangement with TLC beyond being a paying customer. I wanted to do this interview because TLC have helped me enormously and they may be able to help you too.
Over to Joe.
