A better way to get your book read by publishers — Trust the Bubblecow!
Caroline fast became my Yoda. I couldn’t have felt more like the young Skywalker — she helped me learn from my mistakes and reigned me in where I was over-enthusiastic. She’s measured, kind and constructive, and basically takes a patient sewing machine to your work, sorting out all the stitches you’ve dropped, either in haste or simply through inexperience. Ultimately, I’m a better writer for her advice, and no mistake.
Matt Hill, author of Colin & The Strimmer Men.
The reality is that getting published is tough. Publishers and agents are inundated every day with manuscripts from writers looking for their big break. The secret to getting your book noticed is good writing and a well focused submission. BubbleCow has a proven track record of mentoring writers to achieve the dream of seeing their work in print.
At BubbleCow you are able to work closely with established and successfully published authors to improve your writing. We will help you to make your manuscript the best it can be and then give the guidance you need to ensure your book is put in front of the correct publisher or agent.
Each mentoring package is different and is tailored to meet the needs, time restraints and financial circumstances of each writer. However, the basic approach is the same. A writer is matched to a published author and they work closely together. The author will provide support, as well as regular edits and feedback on the work. Once the mentoring process is completed BubbleCow will give you advice and help in placing your book with the best possible agent and/or publisher.

Imagine how much easier it would be to get published if a writer could think like a publisher or agent. This was Caroline Smailes’ goal when she set up BubbleCow.
After securing a multiple book deal with HarperCollins, editor and writer Caroline realised that most writers stood almost no chance of getting published due to a lack of understanding of how the publishing industry really worked. BubbleCow was set up to give writers the best possible chance of securing a book deal.
