Many of our clients ask for help with either traditional publishing or self-publishing. We can provide that, for an additional fee.
For traditional publication, we will identify appropriate literary agents and write your book proposal. (To learn more about proposals, check out Barry’s “Writing a Great Non-Fiction Book Proposal” video on YouTube.)
If, on the other hand, you’re interested in self-publication, we can shepherd you through the processes.
