Most authors know what they want to write but don't know how to make publishers take notice.  They're sure their book can sell, but don't know how to address all the seemingly contradictory factors to create that sale with a publisher.

This is where Laurie's guidance is valuable.

Laurie's evaluation before or after you start submitting your proposal or manuscript to agents and publishers makes sure you have clearly conveyed the book's fundamental concept, and have sufficiently addressed the audience, market, and marketing necessities a publisher requires.  She then aligns this project with your own unique market position. 

For example, you've completed a proposal package or manuscript and you've sent it out to agents or publishers, and so far have received both form letters and contradictory responses.  You are at a loss of how to proceed.  The form letters do not convey anything specifically but they are telling you something about the project.

Or, you've worked out several book ideas and don't know in which order to write them --is one a stronger lead than the other?  is one more likely to sell than the other?  is one worth more money than the other?  should they each be written under different author names?  

These are common situations in which writers find themselves.  Laurie's guidance allows you to understand what has gone on (and why) and give you direction and a game plan for getting back on track to move forward with better results.  

Your project is evaluated according to your goals.  Once you and Laurie have talked and emailed and she understands what you are trying to do, she then puts the pieces of the puzzle together to make sensible and practical recommendations that help you achieve your publishing goals.
