The Tragic Truth About Most Would-Be Authors...But Not You

The world loses a lot of good books every year, because authors do crazy things in their attempt to get published.  They self-publish with no marketing plan; they spend years working on a book but never finish; they write book proposals that have no foundation; or they send their precious work to agents or publishers who don't even work in the same genre! (Wendy Keller )

 

You've already proven your uniqueness and dedication, because you've shown a willingness to learn the craft.  That makes you a rare writer, and increases your chances of success astronomically. Agents and publishers want to work with intelligent, knowledgeable professionals, not just hopeful ones.

Every single thing you'll read about works.

 

We admit to an utterly selfish goal with this series.  We want you to grow into the kind of author we can represent successfully and for multiple books. Someone who we respect, admire and are eager to help.

 

The future of your book is in your hands now.  After a few months of reading these, you'll know more about the truth about publishing than 99% of everyone out there who says, "I'm writing a book!" 

 

Knowledge is power.
