About Us
The Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook, part of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc has become the authoritative resource for writers over the past 100 years. Now, based on customer demand, we have expanded this brand to help aspiring writers get their book published through the introduction of writers’ services.
Harnessing our century-long experience, we have devised a suite of online and offline services that give you access to the right expert at precisely the right moment in the evolution of your work. No matter what stage you have reached in the creative process, you can have the comfort of knowing that there is a service to support you with practical, personalised advice.
Our Writers’ services include:

Some comments about our new services:
How Strong is Your Book Idea: “I would recommend this service as it's coming from "people in the know" who are going to tell it like it is.”
Mid-Way Review: “The Report is very useful and I hope now that I can improve the manuscript.”
Beat the Rejection Clinic: “The reaction of an independent reader was very useful, particularly in spotting a couple of flaws that I suspected, but - after several drafts - no longer had the enthusiasm to fix without some sense that it might be worth it. The next draft is already under way.”
Over the next few months, we will introduce other services that our customers have told us they would like us to develop to help meet their needs.
