Testimonials
“Excellent value for money and so great to meet other writers, all writing in different genres and at different stages of their individual journeys. Really helpful editorial evaluation from Seventh agency. Highly recommend!”
— Amanda“Seventh Stories provided me with some of the highest-quality, most useful feedback I have ever had in my writing career to date. I have published stories and poetry worldwide and have had a lot of feedback, yet Seventh Stories stands out as being pragmatic, systematic, commercial, objective and mindful.”
— Kapu“The editorial feedback was detailed and provided me with the advice and information needed (such as structure, signposting and also about the cover letter), which is very useful. I am at the stage of submitting to literary agents and know what edits to make before I submit to agents again. I was also recommended comparative titles that I had not considered before.”
— Sharon“The manuscript assessment was very clear, constructive and helpful. Some good encouragement and welcome tips on how to improve my writing. The course itself was very insightful about the industry with good practical sessions.”

— Helen“My experience with the Literary Lab offered by the Seventh Agency far exceeded my expectations. I have had a number of meetings and consultations with agents and industry insiders in the past, but the editorial feedback I received from the Seventh Agency far surpassed all other insights into my work to date.
