Literary Consulting -- Coaching
- For 30 years I have worked with beginning to professional writers and during those years my clients and students
have sold over $7 million dollars worth of articles and non-fiction books.
- I can take your manuscript or self published book to create a professional proposal which consists of an (1) an about
the book section (2)a marketing section (3) competitive books (4) an about the author section and (5) a complete selling outline.
All elements a publisher or agent demands.
- I can also guide you through the process of finding an agent or publisher
write the letter of inquiry and help finish
the commercial manuscript.
- COACHING: If you want to write the book yourself but need guidance as you write then I provide that service.
I
work with my authors through e-mail and phone consultation. You
can see some of my clients books by clicking below.

- Proposal Evaluation. The 6-10
page evaluation looks at specific problems and strong points and explains how to make your sample chapters and proposal
salable. Cost $175
- Proposals Written. Books are sold on the basis of a selling proposal and a sample chapter or two. Poor
proposals are the reason many good authors fail to find a publisher. I have written hundreds of these and can help you write
yours or write it for you.
- Editing. Most manuscripts can benefit from editing. We carefully line-edit your work making sure
that the sentences and paragraphs flow logically that there is no repetition and the piece works as a whole. Our purpose is
to make your manuscript salable.
- Ghosting. I can help with almost any kind of non-fiction book including business books popular psychology
how-tos and personal experience books (memoirs). You provide the research and I will write the book for you. If you are a
speaker I can often write the book through a series of telephone interviews or through the taping of your speeches and workshops.
- Rates. I charge $60 an hour for most services with a retainer when we start. Evaluations are billed at
a flat rate.
