Before your book is published or pitched...

You'll have research to do and things to write about yourself as well. After all, whether you choose to self publish or sign with an agent or publisher, your friends and publishing team will be promoting you as well as your book. And it's hard to sell a book if it doesn't have at least some research behind it, or your audience knows nothing about you.

Publishing and selling books is all about connection. But many authors find these things difficult (I'm not the only one, am I? ;)). How can you be sure your research is thorough when life or writing gets crazy? How can you be sure your bio or query letter provides that connection without clouding the details?

That is why I offer services just for assisting authors in these areas! Through my own publishing journey of pitching my novels and publishing short stories, I have gained experience with writing both in a clear and connectable way while including the information readers and those in the industry look for. And I've gained experience with conducting the research to get there.

Does getting feedback and research assistance sound good? Then check out my services below!

Author Bios

Whether you are being published in an anthology, indie publishing, or pitching your work, author bios are often a reader's (or agent's) first introduction to you! It tells them what to expect if they search for more of your writing or sign up for things such as your newsletter.

With my author bio review, I will check that you have every element needed to make you shine just as much as your books!

Rates: $25

Query Letters

Both query letters (to agents) and cover letters (in a book proposal) are the first thing an agent or publisher sees. So it's important to have all the information necessary about you and your book.

When you book a query or cover letter edit with me, what you will get back is feedback pointing out ways to strengthen your letter and three follow-up emails for any questions you may have.
