Publishing · Sellability · Screen
You’ve written the book! Now comes the part no one teaches you: knowing whether it’s ready to sell, who to send it to, and how it might live beyond the page. Evolving Story offers one-on-one career consulting for authors from someone who has spent 15 years reading books through the eyes of the people who buy, sell and promote them.
