Book Proposal

To pitch your book to a publisher

Writing ..............................  $35/hour

​

With your idea and context, I can write content for your website, blog, online and print marketing pieces or the text for the back cover or inside jacket of your book.

 

Writing is not just my craft, it's my passion, so thanks in advance for trusting me to make your ideas come alive!

Editing ..............................  $20/hour

​

Anything worth reading is edited first. A thorough, substantive edit fixes issues with grammar, syntax, continuity, and presentation. It trims bulky text and can require rewriting or reorganization.

 

Write your heart out and then hire me to edit your work to make it sing to the world!

Flat Rate*..............................  $1000

​To be considered by a traditional publisher your book must be in the form of a book proposal. Like a business proposal, a book proposal contains multiple parts, one of which contains solid research summarizing how your book will compete in the market against other titles in your genre. Contact me for more information (scroll down to find my contact info).

​

​*While book proposal rates are flat, the price varies depending on the size and complexity of your book project. Contact me for a quote.

​

Communicating with Me throughout your Project:

​

Email is the only form of project communication I use in my business. I do not accept any requests for work, edits, files, images, etc., via phone calls or texts. All requests, files, edits, etc., must be emailed to me at my business email address: SemickSolutions@gmail.com throughout the entire project. This method assists both myself and my clients in accuracy for both the work and billing.

 

Phone calls are for initial consults, on-going consulting or discussion only. Any  decisions made over the phone must be followed up with an email stating the date of the call and the decision(s) made by you, the client, which then becomes a written record of your request.

​

Texting is only used for convenience when adjusting the time of a pre-scheduled phone appointment. Do not send any files, images or adjust work-related details via text. It is a waste of time and will be added to your bill. Thank you.

Rates are subject to change without notice. 

I reserve the right to refuse any project at anytime for any reason without explanation.
