Story Critique Services

iStock_newspaper.jpgWe have an excellent team of industry based, professional story readers who are at hand to read, evaluate and critique your work in progress.

Our readers are hand picked from a selection of individuals who are readers for leading publishers and literary agencies as well as prolific writers and established authors in their own right.

Our ultimate aim is to guide, support and nurture writers and to provide them with the tools to successfully market their work.  Gone are the days when publishers moulded budding novelists and helped shape their stories in-house.  Now potential authors are expected to produce high quality, near perfect creations.  We can help you reach their standards.

For a detailed analysis of your story, choose our fast, comprehensive online service.  We accept credit and debit cards or Paypal accounts.  Please select our online payment facility.  Once payment has been accepted, complete the form, and cut & paste your story in the space provided.

Alternatively you can post your story directly to us, along with the remittance made out to Chapter One Promotions.  We accept cheques or postal orders in pound sterling only.   Send your work, along with a sae, or International Reply Coupon for overseas postage, to The Story Critique Services, Chapter One Promotions, 19 - 35 Sylvan Grove, London, SE15 1PD, England.
