We pride ourselves on our high success rate!
You don't need to question if an agent is right for you. Submit with confidence!
We remove the guess work when submitting to agents. A main reason many writers receive rejection is because they're pitching to the wrong agents.

​
We scour MSWL, literary agent blogs/interviews/podcasts, social media, publishing industry forums, and more for data that is consistent with your project! We do the research for you! ​

Take the stress out of querying. Allow us to provide you with agents based on our expert knowledge and research.
Publishing Consultancy
I ensure fiction authors have a strong understanding of both the independent and traditional publishing industries before they become pursuit. My clients learn to navigate either path with confidence and establish which avenue is best for their specific goals. As a publishing consultant, I guide writers through querying, agent acquisition, traditional editor submission paths, and the realities of working with indie and traditional publishers.
I also support indie authors with IngramSpark setup, cover creation, and production and distribution decisions.
​
My goal is to demystify publishing, give authors practical tools and knowledge, and help them choose the path that best fits their goals without guesswork or misinformation.
