Proposal Analysis
I’ll help you prepare your writing proposal, from outline and market analysis to contract negotiations. I was an Acquisitions Editor for five years, and I know what they need from you and what will convince them that you’re the right author.
Together, we’ll develop an outline, including scoping the topic, choosing an audience, and focusing the coverage. I know how much is too much information, and how much is not enough.
You’ll need to analyze the competition, and I know just how to do that research. You may want to produce work just like someone else’s in scope or audience, and you need to know how to make a compelling argument for why your work will attract positive attention and sales. Or, maybe you aren’t sure if your approach is novel; together we can figure out what the best-selling work can be.
There are a lot of contract terms that you might find confusing or intimidating. I can help you figure out whether you need a lawyer, whether the terms are fair (according to the industry), and what to do if you find that you are not meeting the terms once the contract is underway.
In short, I’m your in-house Acquisitions Editor and agent, giving you the tools you need to get published.
