That includes everything from book club licenses, to marketing foreign rights, to looking for film and television opportunities. <br /><br />In terms of PR consulting we try to keep our clients apprised of the trends in publishing, we advise clients on how to build their social media platforms, participate in the blogging community, and consult on everything from cover design website content.<br /><br />All best,<br /><br />LizElizabeth Winick Rubinsteinhttp://mcintoshandotis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920432050136375547.post-38683061636684965412012-01-20T08:40:21.895-08:002012-01-20T08:40:21.895-08:00Hi Paty,
The self-publishing market (especially t...Hi Paty,<br /><br />The self-publishing market (especially the ebook market) is on the rise. We get more and more submissions from writers who have self-published their books every day. Whether a writer has self-published or been published by a mainstream publisher, the story is what really counts for me. I’ve picked up projects by authors who self-published and turned down authors who have books with traditional publishers and vice versa. <br /><br />For me it’s all about the story. If I fall in love with your characters, your voice and your writing, that is always the deciding factor in taking on a client. That said, if a writer has done well in traditional publishing or in self-publishing that can certainly be a plus in marketing their work to publishers. <br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />All best,<br /><br />LizElizabeth Winick Rubinsteinhttp://mcintoshandotis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920432050136375547.post-46465776735565522302012-01-20T08:36:42.389-08:002012-01-20T08:36:42.389-08:00Hi Dawn,

We were so looking forward to it to!<br /><br />As agents we are forever looking for fresh ideas. Trends are always changing and cycling so there aren’t particularly genres or types of projects that I would ask writers not to submit. In general what would turn me off in a submission is the feeling of reading a fist draft, spelling and grammar errors, sloppy prose, or a generally unfocused manuscript. Remember, much of a writers job is editing and rewriting! <br /><br />Right now, I would love to get my hands on woman’s fiction, narrative non-fiction, and romance with fast pacing and a strong hook. <br /><br />All best,<br /><br />LizElizabeth Winick Rubinsteinhttp://mcintoshandotis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920432050136375547.post-72219213900774839362012-01-19T20:03:35.940-08:002012-01-19T20:03:35.940-08:00Great interview - thanks for sharing!
