Before a book becomes a book, it begins as a dream that someone was brave enough to write down. This form is that first act of bravery, and it is the place where you tell us who you are, the story living inside you, and how you imagine bringing it into the world, from the very first plan all the way to the day it reaches a reader's hands.
This is not a client application, and you do not have to be ready to hire anyone in order to fill it out. Whether you publish with one of our houses, build your own, or simply dream out loud here for the first time, this form was made to be useful to you no matter where you are.
We will walk beside you through every stage, which is Planning, Writing, Editing, Publishing, and Marketing, and along the way we will share how we think about each one, so that you always understand what you are deciding and why it matters.
Here is a gentle and honest heads-up. This will ask for some of your time. But the more detailed and imaginative you are right now, the easier you make everyone's work later, including your own. So treat this as something a little magical. Imagine that everything you write within this window of time actually came true. How big would you let yourself dream?
When you are ready, turn the page.
