ENDORSEMENTS:"As a literary agent, I saw a lot of proposals. Mary's are top-notch--comprehensive, thoughtful, well written, and professional. I'm proud to send them to the best publishers in the business." Beth Jusino, publishing professional, former literary agent "Mary's proposals include the straightforward facts that publishers need with a personable style that publishers want.
Great research, great voice, great proposal. Mary does an excellent job selling herself without seeming to sell herself." Andy Meisenheimer, Freelance Editor "Mary's book proposals reflect her intelligence, wit, and charm, as well as her high level of craftsmanship as a writer. And just as important, her concepts are fresh. She has no interest in covering the same ground that has been plowed already by other authors. That's important to a book editor who is glassy-eyed from reading stacks of proposals." Ron Lee, senior editor, WaterBrook Multnomah"When I purchased this tutorial, I'd already tried several proposal formats and styles, and I felt like I was floundering in the publishing process. Mary's proposal helped me re-focus, re-charge and renew my passion for my WIP, by providing precise tools for focusing on the manuscript's strengths, as well as practical suggestions for honing platform and making sure what I'm submitting is the best writing possible.
By the time I was done, I not only knew my manuscript better--I knew myself better as well. I recommend these proposal tutorials to anyone and everyone who will listen!'" Amy K. Sorrells, author of How Sweet the Sound.
