What shelf does your book belong on? What does the market look like today? What are agents wishlisting? A report customized to your manuscript with insights, trends, and market analysis.

Let’s look at what you have for your query package so far. We’ll give feedback on your existing agent query letter, synopsis, and opening pages. In addition to the pre-existing set of rules for what should be included, agents have preferences!

Have a publishing offer? We'll research the publisher's reputation, practices, legitimacy, and feedback to help you make an informed decision.

You've written the book. Now what? The Path Forward Assessment provides a professional evaluation of your manuscript, publishing options, and next steps, plus personalized guidance tailored to your goals.

This comprehensive package includes:

• Two Coffee Chats: We’ll schedule a Coffee Chat before work begins to talk through your goals, then we’ll meet again to go over the results.

• Manuscript Readiness Review: We’ll evaluate your manuscript, then assess its readiness for querying, publishing, or if it needs additional editorial work. Think of it as a big-picture look at where your project stands today, what it's doing well, and what may need attention before moving forward. This is not a line-by-line edit or developmental critique.

• Query Package Assessment: A full review of your existing query package, plus cross referencing comparable titles. No query package yet? No problem! We’ll offer resources, examples, and guidance for creating it.

• Publishing Path Analysis: The pros, cons, risks, expectations, and warning signs for the different types of publishing avenues out there (there are multiple!), with our recommendations, but ultimately you decide which fits best.

• Personalized Roadmap: An easy-to-read order of operations based on your manuscript’s status and steps for reaching your goals.
