"Without Laurie I'd still be aspiring instead of
            published.  Within 6 months of our first meeting I
            had a shining proposal, a go-getter agent, and a
            great book deal.  Laurie knows the author biz!"

You've been working on a book idea for some time, you've tried a few things.  You've gotten some feedback, but now have no idea how to proceed or even if you should proceed.  You wonder, Am I the only one who thinks this idea is interesting?  Is it even salable?  Is this book a good career move or a bad one? 

It's time for critical, objective feedback from an industry professional.  

Laurie is a straight shooter who will tell you the truth.  In the tangled world of publishing she can clarify for you what's happened so far and why, then point to the right resources, and help get issues resolved quickly.  She saves the author meaningful time, money, and needless frustration. 


          "Few publishing people have experienced first hand
           the challenges of authoring, publishing, and retailing
           books--Laurie has done it all.  I continue to value her
           advice on contract complications, book marketing,
           and the latest trends."   Jay Wurts, Co-Author
           of Richard Secord's QUICKSAND:  Following the Money,
           Blood, and Oil Into America's New Middle East, and
           One Big Kid:  Shel Silverstein Remembered, among
           many other notable books.  see  www.jaywurts.com
