We empower Texas authors to perfect and market their work. Our how-to relies on almost six decades of experience in writing, editing, ideation, strategizing and publishing, as well as marketing and social media campaign development/assessment.
We're affordable. We usually work with authors whose manuscripts are completed, and we only assist two or three authors at a time. Our approach is highly individualized. You can count on us to be your advocate after our contract has ended because we only work with people we believe are worthy of being highly successful.
We offer 1) editing and collaboration to help you refine your manuscript, 2) refining your work to make it more marketable to potential agents and 3) helping you develop a solid plan to establish and maintain strong relationships with your audience(s).
You decide what type of help you'll need. Here's a brief summary of what we can do for you:
A read-through and first-level edit to improve your manuscript's flow and rhythm, language, and punctuation. We'll offer notes about your plot, character believability, and pacing to identify any inconsistencies or plot holes.
You'll receive a document edited in Associated Press style and a collaborative consultation covering all of the above.
The beta reading described above, plus research into the target audience your work is best suited for. We'll share insights about your work's overall marketability, suggest target audiences, and map strategic methods for reaching them at the lowest possible cost.
There are many ways to market a book — road tours of book clubs and libraries, brochures, billboards, bookmarks, soliciting reviews. But nothing is as cost-effective as a top-notch social media campaign on the right platform for garnering pre-sales and book sales.
Effective campaigns take a holistic approach: platform setup, a social media audit, developing your author profile, defining or refining your brand, collateral design, image development, photography and videography, and interactive content targeted to your audience — a survey, a blog concept and its first posts, and more.
