Author Mentoring
Are You an Emerging Author in Need of Support?
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.
Understanding the key elements of a professional book proposal, compelling blurb, marketing plan—even the essentials of an effective elevator pitch—appear daunting. And for many authors, the hardest thing to write about is themselves.
Jeff Maynard offers a manuscript assessment service for non-fiction authors. Unlike most manuscript reading services, there is no upfront fee. Jeff says, “I won’t waste my time and your money. Send me a brief outline and I will tell you whether or not I consider it worth pursuing, and why. If I believe it is worth pursuing, I will send you my rate card.”
Because of work load, Jeff will only mentor two, or at most, three people per year.
