Helen Corner-Bryant (Author) Helen Corner-Bryant is the founder of Cornerstones Literary Consultancy, an organization which offers a bespoke service of help and advice to novelists and writers, whether they're just getting started or already published. Helen launched the business after leaving Penguin in 1998 and has developed it into the UK's leading literary consultancy. She is passionate about writing, editing, and launching new authors, and particularly focused on the essential but mysterious art of self editing. Helen and her team of over 80 UK and US editorial consultants use their working knowledge of the global book market to show what is and isn't working in your manuscript, and how to fix it and fulfill the promise of your big idea, preparing for submission to agents and publishers and --eventually--publication. Kathryn Price (Author) Kathryn Price joined Cornerstones as Managing Editor in 2005, going on to become co-partner. Prior to this she worked in literary agencies and a bookshop specialising in crime fiction, where she honed her passion for helping developing writers - and a taste for out-of-the-ordinary stories. She loves the craft of editing, and the process of taking an unpolished idea and helping the author turn it into a sparkling gem. She now works closely with authors at all stages of the writing process in her role as Cornerstones editor-in-chief.
