Wondering if your nonfiction book proposal is ready for the eyes of agents and publishers?

This review focus on the proposal itself--the concept, marketability, platform, etc.

You'll receive:
1. Notes
You'll receive a document of notes to give you an overview of what Margot's noticing in the proposal.
2. Proposal With Notes
The working proposal document you receive will include specific suggestions to strengthen the proposal, both as tracked changes and offering suggestions as margin notes.

"This is from the publisher, 'Our editorial team has looked over your proposal, and we are all agreed that this is an excellent fit for us.' It's all because of you, Margot! You were instrumental in helping me craft a winning proposal and your guidance was invaluable. I am forever grateful!!!!
