The Literary Consultancy (TLC) is a UK-based editorial consultancy service that was founded in 1996, becoming the first service of its kind to offer "professional, in-depth editorial advice and assessment to anyone writing in the English language, anywhere in the world".[1] Operating under the strapline "Literary Values in a Digital Age", TLC is based at the Free Word Centre in Farringdon Road, central London. Its founding Director was Rebecca Swift (1964–2017), who set up the organisation with Hannah Griffiths after they worked together at Virago Press.[2][3][4] The current director of TLC is Aki Schilz.[5]
