The Writers' Group

“Ms. Faass’ services were invaluable in developing the proposal
for my professional book. The proposal was written over
the course of my 3-week vacation, working by phone
interview, and submitted to several publishing houses.

The book was purchased within a few months for a
substantial amount by our first-choice publisher.”
J. Michael Menke, PhD, DC, University of Arizona

BENEFITS

Achieve Your Publishing Objectives. The Writers’ Group can help you develop a compelling proposal that conveys the essence of your project and sells it to a publisher. We build on your strengths, your expertise, and the significance of your work.

A Streamlined Process. We can also help you create your book once the proposal has been sold, organizing key information, developing your table of contents, identifying contributors, and assisting with writing or editing.

Write on Your Own Timeline. Working with you by phone interview enables us to capture your ideas efficiently. Even one hour of interview per week (plus preparation time) can support an ambitious writing project.
