Proposals

With your book proposal, you sell yourself and your product within the publishing industry.

In my years of experience at literary agencies, I have helped prepare proposals for the fields of popular medicine and health, popular science, spiritual leadership, multicultural and women’s interests, literary memoir, and fiction. Several of these proposals were later sold to mainstream publishers for significant advances.

I can tell you what information to include and how to present a professional image. I will write or edit important sections of the proposal, help you write a sample chapter, and provide marketing research for competitive titles. If you work in a specialized or academic field, I can help you prepare the proposal for the mainstream market.

In addition to preparing proposals for book publishing, I also have experience editing treatments for film and television. I can help you present your ideas in a professional voice and provide suggestions for plot and character improvements, enhancing the marketability of your ideas.

I will edit a previously written proposal or help you prepare one from an outline. Contact us, and we can discuss what you need and how I can help you. I will provide a free estimate, after taking a look at your material and talking with you.

I look forward to hearing about your book.

We can help you:

• Reduce preparation time
• Focus your ideas into an organized, marketable format
• Target your proposal for a mainstream market
• Position your book favorably in competition with similar titles
• Ensure that your proposal is presented in a professional, industry-standard form
