Not sure what/whom exactly you're looking for?
Shoot me an email and ask for my free, one-hour initial consultation (audio or video), including deep and detailed feedback on your sample pages.
It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and see if we are a good match. It's also a chance for you to gain awareness of how to capitalize on the strengths of your work and address its challenges.
Please shoot me an email, along with sample pages of your book (see below for details).
In your email (subject line: "Initial Consultation"), a few lines about the following will be helpful:
- How would you describe your work to a potential reader? (Think something along the lines of what you'd read on the back cover of a paperback or the jacket of a hardcover. It needn't be polished, and it shouldn't be more than two or three paragraphs. I'm asking for it so I have some context for your sample pages.)
- What's the title of your book?
- What is the stage of completion? For example, have you written part or all of your book?
- Any thoughts on what you hope will be the biggest takeaways for your readers?
- Are you interested in pursuing traditional publishing, or are you looking to independently publish?
- Do you have any thoughts on who your ideal readership would be?
- Please feel free to tell me anything else you'd like me to know about you and your project.
Typically, if your novel or memoir manuscript is a full manuscript or half to three-quarters of the way done, I'll ask for your first ten double-spaced pages.
If your manuscript is less than 30,000 words, or if you are looking for book proposal services, I'll ask for the first three double-spaced pages of your book or book proposal.
Please send me your pages in Word, double-spaced and page-numbered.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
