Self-Publishing?

If you're self-publishing, you don't need a book proposal.

What you do need, to serve readers, is a commitment to excellence.

When a contracted manuscript is submitted to a traditional publisher, the process will typically involve:
·      One or two rounds of developmental editing
·      A round of copy editing
·      Several meticulous rounds of proofreading, in search of the tiniest errors.

If you're self-publishing, you'll want to ensure that your manuscript has received this kind of careful attention.

Margot serves clients by providing a Nonfiction Manuscript Evaluation, which is the same thing as a "developmental edit." When you complete the manuscript of your book, this is the first kind of edit you need. If your book needs restructuring, or more stories, or practical application of the principles you've taught her, Margot will offer clear instructions about how to improve your manuscript.

*Note, when you learn more about Margot's Nonfiction Manuscript Evaluation, the price will say "zero." It is not "zero." The fee for a manuscript evaluation will be based on the number of words in your manuscript.
