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 "Mary's focused, easy to follow proposal tutorial took my project from idea to paperback almost overnight. After reviewing my first try at the proposal my agent said it was one of the best proposals she'd seen. Two months later I had a contract for my first book. I am so thankful for Mary's proposal tutorial. It is straightforward, professional, and Mary knows exactly how to help an author bring her/his voice to this document.
