Welcome
The only literary consultancy founded and by run professional editors all currently employed in the UK and international publishing industry. We offer for the first time the highest calibre of editorial services directly to writers, published and unpublished.
The Writing Room offers a range of services including detailed manuscript appraisals and a uniquely tailored mentoring programme aimed at guiding writers towards specific goals.
The Writing Room was founded in 2009 by Maggie McKernan, for twenty years a leading editor of prize-winning writers, including Vikram Seth, Ben Okri, Colum McCann, Jostein Gaarder, Michael Collins and many others.
In addition, we have very strong links with UK publishers, writing programmes, book trade and writing professionals, and established literary agencies in the UK and abroad. We utilise this expertise and range of contacts in the service of our clients.
Each book is different, each writer’s requirements are different. We always seek to serve the needs of the individual writer.
