Proposals and Queries

How do you get your work into the hands of a publisher or agent? You open the door with a query. Then, you walk through the door with your proposal. Your query should capture interest and sell your idea. Your proposal should inform and should market your idea. Both should be professional and focused. Agents and publishers won't waste time on a poor presentation. And with good reason - they're swamped and don't have the time to waste.

I can put your query or proposal together, so you don't waste your time, and lose out after all the work you've put into your book.

Magazine Articles

Publishing articles related to your book in magazines and periodicals creates interest in your work. I can help you write the article, culled from your text.
I can also query the magazines for you.

Publishers

When it comes to getting published, writers nowadays have a myriad of possibilities in front of them. I'm very pleased to be associated with two of the better options out there.

Nyala Publishing

Nyala Publishing has been in business since 1994. Their strong sense of integrity permeates everything they do. They celebrate the art of language and the power of the human experience. In addition, they're savvy business people, practicing cost-effectiveness and producing a quality result. Nyala has also established itself as a niche publisher, helping immigrants hone their writing and publishing their experiences in the form of fictionalized accounts that appeal to readers everywhere.

Web Site Design

One of the best ways to get both marketing exposure and personal satisfaction, is through your own web site. You have a creative space that you can control. You have a dynamic and interactive resource. You have a way to an audience of unlimited size.

Getting your work out there can be a challenging goal. Marketing yourself is an important practical part of your business success. And too, reaching out to your audience is both personally and creatively satisfying. Your web site should be a reflection of you - holding the same vision that shapes your writing, expressing the individuality that sets you apart from everyone else.

Whatever your business or needs, a web site is a great way to market yourself. To make the most of your internet presence, your site should stand out from the generics and the cookie-cutter trends. It should communicate your unique and special style. It should speak for you.   

Web page design is a service that I also offer. I understand the importance of your web site as an extension of you. I'll work with you to create a unique and affordable internet presence that serves your personal needs.
