Can you get my book published?
No. We can help you make your book better, stronger, and more attractive to an agent or publisher by critiquing, manuscript editing, book doctoring, or, if needed, ghostwriting. But agents and editors take on what they like and what they think will sell. Since their choices are personal, they are impossible to predict.
How do you build suspense?
You have to provide enough information to get your readers invested in the plot and characters so they want to know more. But a common mistake is to tell too much too quickly. Remember, it is what they don’t know that keeps them turning the pages (to find out).
When the subject matter is dry, how do you keep readers interested?
In non fiction too, you must build suspense. You can do this by telling the story well – pacing it, letting the facts build toward a climax or punch line. And don’t forget your audience. Readers like what speaks to them and expect to be entertained as well as educated. Knowing your reader and writing for him or her is often what makes these books successful. P.S. A good book editor helps.
How much do you charge?
Don't worry. Initial consultations are free. What we do varies dramatically from job to job, so we will have to either see your manuscript or talk to you about your project before we can give you an estimate. You may choose either an hourly or project fee structure.
