Bath Novel Awards x Cornerstones

If you have come to us via the Bath Novel Award or the Bath Children’s Novel Award and would like to register your interest in editorial feedback, please contact us using the form below or, if you would prefer to speak to someone, call us on: (+44)1308 897374. Cornerstones sponsors the prestigious BNA and BCNA competitions, and we offer one longlistee a free place on our Edit Your Novel course as well as providing summary feedback on all long- and shortlisted manuscripts. All entrants via BNA will receive 10% off their chosen package.

Our editors work across a broad range of fiction and nonfiction including but not limited to: children’s (picture book to MG/YA), SFF, historical (including special interest), thriller, contemporary, drama, women’s, book club, commercial, literary, crime, romance, erotica, memoir, narrative nonfiction, creative nonfiction, business, self help, travel writing, short stories, horror, and so on. We do not work with academic monographs, poetry, or scripts/screenplays. If you aren’t sure which genre you’re writing in, get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.

All of our editors know how to get a manuscript to agent or publisher submission-ready level, and if it’s there they will recommend it to our Scouting Programme. Feel free to follow links to find out more about our Mission, Success Stories, and Scouting Programme.
