Book Proposal Development
Proposal development for authors who aspire to secure a literary
agent or a contract with a traditional publisher.
The process:
Initial 45-minute call
Review of any draft materials you have prepared (e.g., book description, outline, sample material), up to 12,000 words
Two editorial passes—the first focused on larger issues of content and flow, the second on line editing to polish the language and catch any typos or grammatical errors
1-hour follow-up call
Perfect if you:
Plan to seek a traditional publisher (as opposed to self-publishing)
Want help refining your book idea and shaping your proposal to be as attractive as possible to agents and acquiring editors
Need support in understanding or articulating your author platform and how you’ll help the publisher launch and market your book
TIMELINE
3-5 weeks (or longer if you haven’t yet drafted the sample chapters to include in your proposal)
