Blue Pencil Agency

London, England, United Kingdom • 4 Employees
Writing & Editing

A blue pencil was traditionally used by editors to show corrections to manuscripts as blue didn't show in most reproduction processes. In the digital world blue pencils are seen more rarely but they still exist as a metaphor for editing.The idea of collaboration between editor and writer isn't new. Once it was the job of agents and publishers to nurture new literary talent. But in today's saturated market you need to arrive with a polished manuscript. An editor is your second pair of eyes. Our job is to encourage, persuade and problem solve. Working with us is making the leap from the fear of criticism to accepting support and establishing a clearer perspective of the market – understanding work as product, not just art.
