History

Established in 2013.

Unicorn for Writers is uniquely designed to arm writers with the practical know-​how to get their manuscript through or around the gatekeepers of the publishing world. Today, between multinational media corporations and global entertainment conglomerates, getting a publisher’s attention takes more than a great idea and a flair for the written word. Whether you like it or not, publishers view your manuscript as much as a business proposition as a work of art. In order to achieve their writing goals, Unicorn for Writers has created a unique approach in helping today’s writers, which includes competition research, manuscript evaluation, one page book summary, query letter, and forty other publishing services necessary to guide today’s writers on their journey from manuscript to printed book.
