faqs
Do you write the book proposal for me?
It depends on our agreement. You can purchase the framework and write it yourself; hire me to advise, assist and edit to ensure you complete a polished and professional book proposal; or hire me to write it for you.
Can you guarantee a publishing deal?
No, I can't guarantee a publishing deal. Factors like the uniqueness and timing of your story, the quality of your writing, your level of notoriety, and whether you are ready for representation by an agent all play significant roles in securing a publishing deal. However, a strong book proposal will certainly increase your chances of success.
Do I need a book proposal to self-publish?
No. You don’t need a book proposal to self-publish, but it makes the process much easier. You are more likely to succeed with a polished and coherent book proposal.
What’s the difference between a manuscript and a book proposal?
A manuscript is a finished book whereas a book proposal is an overview and sample of the book and how to promote and sell it.
How much do you charge?
As everyone’s needs, expertise and skills vary, we will discuss pricing during the initial discovery call.
