Editing, Writer Training / Development & Literary Representation

Word|Link was founded in 1998 as a cooperative of writers and editors in the United States and has undergone many transformations through the years: as a literary agency committed to nurturing new talent, as a manuscript assessment and editing service, and as a provider of instruction through creative writing workshops and online mentoring programs. Now operating in two distinct branches, Word|Link is able to provide a wide range of services to all writers, from the newcomer to the bestselling author.

Word|Link Literary Representation features outstanding authors who are dedicated to both the writing craft and the writing community. Click on the door to find out more about submissions and queries.

Word|Link Writer’s Support provides manuscript assessment, editing, publishing consultation, contract negotiation, and instruction. Whether you are an emerging writer looking for honest, constructive feedback, an author preparing a manuscript for publication, or a publisher with an overstuffed in-box, we can help.

A note about our code of ethics: In order to maintain our integrity in the publishing industry, we believe it is important to draw clear lines between Word|Link's two branches. Simply put, manuscripts submitted to Word|Link Literary Representation will be carefully considered for representation only, and we will not respond to authors with offers of assessments, editing, or any other paid services. Likewise, manuscripts submitted to Word|Link Literary Representation that have been previously edited or assessed by Word|Link Writer’s Support are given no advantage or special attention in the submission process.
