Writing your book proposal (includes academic work and general trade)
If your book-sized work is ready for submission to an agent or publisher, which I determine in an initial consultation or after coaching, you will need a book proposal for submission. I will not create or review book proposals for work that is not ready for submission. I'll refer you to an earlier stage in the writing process (see Initial Consultation Page).

Helpful publishing hint-- Did you know? You can have only two or three chapters written, and outline a plan of completion in your proposal for an agent or publisher. Your proposal must also describe the remainder of the book. |
If you have written a book proposal, I'll review it for $250 (plus $75 Initial Consultation Fee to determine if your piece is ready for submission). Total Fee: $375
If you need a book proposal, I will develop one for $500 (plus $75 Initial Consultation Fee to determine if your piece is ready for submission). Total Fee: $575
Finding publishers or agents for book-length projects
Publisher research includes a minimum of five appropriate leads in each month that you choose to submit your work. Each unique project will be negotiated separately. Minimum cost per month: $750.
Or, I can Coach you to do this yourself.

Helpful publishing hint-- Did you know? Editors in publishing houses can be your friends. Build a relationship with them. They know best whether or not a piece is publishable and will tell you frankly. |
Information Regarding Self Publishing
For $75 a lead, I'll research as many self publishing houses as you request to determine, costs, minimum printed copies, type of genre, editing services, publishing timelines, etc.
