Many editors do not have time to read everything they get, so they request authors and agents send a novel proposal. Such a proposal includes:

• the first few chapters of the novel (typically three)
• detailed synopsis or chapter-by-chapter outline
• cover/query letter
• novel premise/pitch (optional)
• novel treatment (optional)
• author bio (optional)

For $295, we will provide an overview analysis of your partial manuscript and auxiliary material. This package includes a detailed write-up (see the Key Evaluation Points at left), printing of an electronically-submitted proposal, and return shipping of the marked-up hardcopy.
