Book Proposal Development

Proposal development for authors who aspire to secure an
agent or contract with a traditional publisher.

The process:

  • Matt reviews any draft materials you have prepared (e.g., book description, outline, sample material), up to 8,000 words

  • 90 minute consultation

  • Matt does two editorial passes at proposal—the first focused on larger issues of content and flow, the second on line editing to polish the language and catch any typos or grammatical errors

Perfect if you:

  • Plan to seek a traditional publisher (as opposed to self-publishing)

  • Want help refining your book idea and shaping your proposal to be as attractive as possible to agents and acquiring editors

  • Need support in understanding or articulating your author platform and how you’ll help the publisher launch and market your book
