In a nutshell…exactly
what we asked for on our agency site.
We don’t want colorful
fonts or fonts the size of the Grand Canyon. We want New Times Roman, 12 pt. We
want you to tell us exactly who has
already seen the manuscript. We don’t want to take you on as a client and find
out that you’ve already sent it to every editor in the industry. We want you to
lay out your marketing strategies. Don’t tell us that you will start to build a social media and
speaking presence. Tell us that you have already built this dynasty and are
merely waiting for a fearless leader.
Tell us you have researched your historic
novel for a couple years, and it is now complete and looking for a home. Don’t
tell us that you’ll start the research and finish the novel if we’re
interested. And please…DO NOT tell us to go to your website to see a sample of
who you are and what you do.
It truly is not rocket
science. We tell you exactly what we want, what we expect, and you take it from
there, using our guidelines.
There you have it. What
do we want to see from writers? Exactly what we ask for on our site. If you
follow this, you tell us that you already have a professional presence. And if
your proposal looks good, you jump to the top of the pile. Welcome aboard.
