1. Reaching Traditional Publishing (Launchpad Services)
ABOUT
Our Launchpad Services are designed to guide you through the essential steps of securing traditional publishing success. Using our expertly crafted Seven-Step Launch Pad Method, we help you position your book for maximum impact in the competitive publishing world. Whether you're polishing a proposal or preparing your manuscript for submission, our tailored services ensure every aspect of your project is presented professionally and strategically. From crafting compelling overviews and market analyses to refining your sample work, we support you through each critical stage, giving your book the best chance to shine.
Your Overview
We help you craft a brief overview of your project (a 300-word elevator pitch that can be read in the time it takes for the red light to turn green at a pedestrian crossing). All an agent or publisher needs to know is why you are qualified to write the book. We do this by highlighting the pertinent details of your book, including its genre, unique aspects, and where it will be sold—not just to retailers but also to your target audience. We ensure that your pitch captures the essence of your project and effectively communicates its potential.
Author Biography
We craft a concise but powerful author biography that highlights your relevant credentials, expertise, and experiences, ensuring it demonstrates why you are uniquely qualified to write this book.
Market Analysis
Using our current market data and industry-standard sales and analytics systems, we help you demonstrate to publishers that you understand your audience and the current publishing landscape, as well as how your book fits into it.
Book Outline or Synopsis:
Whether it's a detailed outline for non-fiction or a synopsis for fiction, we help you provide a clear chapter-by-chapter breakdown of your book. This enables agents and publishers to understand the structure and flow of your work.
Promotion
We help you understand your role in promoting your book and ensure that you make a compelling case for agents and publishers. By highlighting your involvement and dedication to marketing, we position your book for success in a competitive marketplace.
Competitive Analysis
We help you demonstrate how your book stands out within its genre. We’ll assist you in showing agents and publishers that your book offers something fresh, whether it’s a new perspective or filling a gap in the market.
Sample Work
We help you with your sample work. Non-fiction proposals typically require chapter summaries and a few completed chapters, while for fiction, you’ll need a fully completed and edited manuscript. This is where you showcase your writing and demonstrate the quality of your book.
