Comprehensive Book Development
My work begins with identifying your powerful message. Then, I help you shape your book to convey your message and prepare it for book form by working with you as a consultant and collaborative writer. This occurs over 90 days, based on how elaborate your writing is. This includes proposal development or editing your book to industry standards.
I then work with you to develop a new publishing proposal or redevelop the proposal and query materials you may already have written. This includes defining all elements of your book proposal, including:
Agent Pitching
During this phase, I pitch your query materials and proposal to agents from hot leads and databases that I work with. When an offer of representation is presented, I encourage clients to choose an agent or publisher based on the advance and the overall commitment of the publisher. Traditionally, once you receive an offer, my work is completed since you will work with the agent and publishing house editor to get the writing to their unique presentation standards.
