My novel gets some TLC

13/12/2016

 
My novel gets some TLC - Writer's Centre Norwich TLC Free Read
Last month I entered a competiton run by the Writers' Centre Norwich. It was for a Free Read by The Literary Consultancy aka TLC. They have professional editors and writers on staff who critique novels, short stories and plays. The aim is to give writers the advice they need to take their work to the next stage.

I just found out that I'm one of the five winners and I couldn't be happier. 
I'm featured on the Writers' Centre site...
When you write it's easy to get caught up in your story​. I know that I'm too close to it now and need somebody impartial to read through it and give me some suggestions on how I can improve it.

Part of me is a little nervous - it's a big step to show my work to anyone, I've only rececntly entrusted it to two friends and they like me, so chances are they will be kind in their feedback. A stranger... now that's completely different.

My hope is that their response will contain positive suggestions of things I can do to make my story better. I want to feel empowered and excited to add some new elements. My aim is to write the best novel I can and this is one step closer to doing that.
Claire Wade is the winner of the Good Housekeeping Novel Competition and author of The Choice. She was bed bound for six years with severe ME, trapped in a body that wouldn't do what she wanted. She now writes about people who want to break free from the constraints of their lives, a subject she's deeply familiar with.
