WHAT I DON’T OFFER
I don’t offer introductions to agents or publishers. While I can guide you on your best approach to these professionals, I have a blanket policy on introductions to ensure that you have all options open to you.
I don’t offer guarantees on publishing or financial success in authorship. I have many successful clients, but they have become successful through a range of time, social, and financial investments, sometimes undertaken over the course of decades. Because there are many variables outside of my control that can lead to success, I focus only on offering my best advice for your project.
PLEASE NOTE: I will always prepare a personalised proposal and billing plan for you before we work together; I don’t charge up-front for the entire cost of work.
