I’m sorry to say I can make no guarantees toward publication. The whole industry is so subjective. A polished manuscript is only one facet toward any book’s success. The good thing is that these days there are more options than ever before, which I’ll happily discuss with you for free. E-mail me for my telephone number.
I highly recommend attending workshops and conferences. Personal contacts increase your chances over slush-pile percentages. Meet publishers, editors and agents. Find out what’s going on the industry. Attend workshops: learn, learn, learn. You can never learn enough. Join a writers group. If there isn’t one in your area, start one. E-mail me for my telephone number and I’ll tell you how.
All work is done via contract, so you’re protected. Payments can be made by money order or PayPal. Payment plans are flexible. Any questions or concerns, E-mail me for my telephone number.
