Betterwrite: Helping Writers to Write Better

Betterwrite will help you improve your novel, and get it ready to publish.

  • We've worked with lots of publishers including Cambridge University Press, Penguin, Bloomsbury, Hodder and HarperCollins.
  • We've edited fiction, non-fiction, dissertations, scripts and memoirs.
  • We specialise in helping indie novelists get published. We use a tried-and-tested system. We provide two types of edit: first a development edit, and then a copy-edit.

This is how it works:

  1. With an extract from your novel, we do a free sample edit and critique.
  2. If you like what we've done, you send us your full manuscript (the ms).
  3. We do a development edit, then you do some rewriting following our guidance.
  4. We do a complete copy-edit. Now you've got a good book. You can self-publish it, or send it to an agent.
  • The Oxford Dictionary defines encourage as to give support, confidence or hope to: to help the development of.                                   That's what we do for our writers.
  • And we try to be affordable for everyone.
