Are you a first-time author? The first step to getting your book published is getting an independent evaluation of your project—its strengths and weaknesses.  BookCrafters LLC’s professional book editor—a seasoned NYC publishing professional--will guide you on your way to creating the best possible manuscript.

Do you need help in crafting a salable book proposal? (A book proposal is what you or your literary representative sends to publishers to interest them in your work.) BookCrafters LLC will highlight, and help you develop, all the elements your book proposal needs so that it attracts the eye of an acquiring editor at a publishing house.   It’s never been more true that in today’s competitive publishing marketplace, you need a stellar book proposal to land the best possible literary agent and/or deal. We will help individualize your proposal so that it highlights your book’s potential and offers pertinent information about you, its author.

Does your manuscript need a professional edit so that it shines when shown to publishers? If you’re a writer of nonfiction, BookCrafters LLC will help ensure that your project is well organized, clearly written, and readable. We will help you develop and refine its content, structure, tone, and pacing.  If you’re a writer of fiction, we’ll help you perfect the story, structure, characters, tone, and pacing so that your work is fully realized.

Do you need a literary agent? If so, BookCrafters LLC will help you draft a query letter and produce a book proposal so that you’re one step above the rest in attracting the attention of a well-respected literary agent.

Are you an author with a publishing contract who needs more assistance than your publisher can provide in terms of project development?  Are you at something of a loss in terms of responding to your in-house editor’s edit? We’ve worked in the editorial department of major publishers for well over a decade--and we will help you re-conceive, restructure, and revise your manuscript so that it meets your publisher’s expectations.

Are you an expert in the field who needs a collaborator to assist you in delivering your message? BookCrafters LLC has more than 16 years of experience in helping authors put together the very best book. You may be at the top of the game in your particular field of expertise—be it medicine, business, speaking, nutrition, or fitness—but you may never have imparted a message to the general public in the form of a book.  You supply the raw material—we’ll help you structure it in a way that is accomplished and salable. We’ll point out what the book needs—and what can make it even better.

Are you a literary agent, book packager, or in-house publishing editor who has a complicated project requiring a lot of hands-on attention? At today’s fast-paced publishing companies many in-house editors no longer have time to edit every one of their titles. And some projects simply need more attention than others.  We will provide a detailed developmental edit so that the project gets on the right track—fast. We can also work in conjunction with your author so that you have a highly commercial book proposal to send out—one that will command the best possible advance.

Are you a literary agent who’s found an expert—one who hasn’t written a book before?  We can help your expert to come up with a unique concept that evolves into a full-length book.
