Writer’s Relief (established in 1994) is an author’s submission service—not a literary agency, publisher, or publicity firm. We’re an expert team that manages the submission process for creative writers, giving them more time to write. We have a service for every budget!

Full Service: For Total Freedom From The Majority Of Submission-Related Tasks

If you’d rather be writing than doing paperwork, or if you’re frustrated by going it alone, you might be a good candidate for our Full Service. The experts at Writer’s Relief can manage your entire submission process. We’ll proofread and format your work in industry guidelines; we’ll research the BEST markets for your unique submission; we’ll track responses; we’ll keep your submissions on track; we’ll guide you through any questions that arise so you can tackle them with professional know-how. We’ll prepare your submissions so that all you have to do is send them. Plus, with our optional Elite Full Service, we can even email your submissions for you from our office. It’s hands-free submitting at its best!

Clients are not locked into a long-term contract, but this service is best for writers who want a partnership—who want to get serious about submitting and publishing. For that reason, Full Service clients must apply to our Review Board. We accept about 20% of applicants to our limited client list. To watch for a future call for submissions, subscribe to Submit Write Now!

Pricing: Our Full Service clients send work out six times a year (we work in two-month intervals called cycles). Prices start at $449 per cycle for this intensive service.

A La Carte: For Occasional Identification Of The BEST Markets For A Submission

If you’ve ever had the thought: “I wish someone would just tell me the best places to submit my writing!” then you might be a perfect candidate for our A La Carte service.

We’ll do the research and provide you with the 25+ markets that are best-suited to your work. We’ll also make it easy for you to make your submissions from your home (with an interactive PDF for online submissions). There are lots of other bells and whistles and goodies too, but you’ll have to head over to our main A La Carte page to learn about them.

Sign up for a round of A La Carte submissions whenever you’ve got a new piece ready to go or when you want to try another round of submissions. Learn more about how we target your work.

Unlike our Full Service clients, A La Carte clients don’t need Review Board approval.

Pricing: A La Carte targeting starts at $199.

A La Carte PLUS: For Occasional Identification of Markets AND Cover/Query Letter Prep

Our A La Carte PLUS service gives you the pinpoint targeting of our regular A La Carte service (identification of 25+ markets for your work), but it also offers the added bonus of professional cover/query letter creation.

If you’ve struggled with your query letters and cover letters, our expert writers will work closely with you to create a letter you love.
Book authors: Our query letters have a great track record and our clients regularly receive request from agents to read manuscript pages.
Unlike our Full Service clients, A La Carte clients don’t need Review Board approval.

Pricing: Our A La Carte PLUS service starts at $275 poetry/short prose and $299 for book submissions (this includes cover/query creation, all basic A La Carte targeting services, plus the helpful, extra goodies).

Learn more.

Formatting and Proofreading: For Sensitive Manuscript Prep.

Our proofreaders are the best. They’re expert sticklers, but they’re also sensitive to a writer’s idiosyncrasies. It’s the perfect balance.

Why spend your evenings mucking around with margins, chasing commas, or puzzling over pagination?

We have two options for you:

1. We can send you our proofreading/formatting suggestions and you can make any changes yourself.

2. We can enter all corrections into your manuscript—and you’ll have veto power over any changes you don’t like.
Pricing: Varies.
