You've been trying to sell your book for such a long time that you're sick of it. You run into people you haven't seen for a few years, and they all ask that dreaded question: How's the book? You lie and say, Great! and change the subject.
But just because the publishing industry has become almost impossible to break into doesn't mean you should give up. Plenty of writers make a living selling novels, short stories, and screenplays. What are they doing that you're not? Chances are they hired a professional editor to evaluate their project's quality and marketability. So if you've spent two, five, or ten years revising your manuscript and can't get it published, aren't happy with it, or can't finish it, you need help. You need our help.
During your free consultation, we'll discuss your project in detail, and clarify your goals. If you dream of publishing your novel, you have to include all the most commercial elements great characters, powerful themes, nail-biting suspense and conflict, high stakes, and a surprising but logical ending. If your book is non-fiction, you have to implement all the techniques for making your language clear, active, accurate and precise. If you're writing your memoirs and don't care about getting published because you're just going to give your book to family and friends, there's obviously no need to beef up your plot in order to supply the non-stop action demanded by today's commercial publishing industry. However, rules still apply for your writing-grammar, optimum word choice, comprehensive presentation of story, and concise, clear writing.
We'll also want to know your project's status. Is your manuscript complete? How long is it? Do you have any specific problems you would like to address? Are there sections you feel aren't right, but you don't know why?
