Author Mentoring
From Selfie to Shelfie
Many emerging authors have a good idea, along with a first or second draft of a manuscript with potential. But attracting an agent to represent them can be difficult. So can understanding the key elements of a professional book proposal, compelling blurb, marketing plan—even the essentials of an effective elevator pitch.
Unfortunately there is a proliferation of ‘hybrid publishers’ offering to help new authors get published for a fee. Many are outright scams. The first step on the journey from Print On Demand self-published to actually published and sitting on a shelf somewhere is an honest and unbiased assessment of your manuscript.
Because of work load, Jeff will only mentor two, or at most, three people per year.
