![]() ![]() The Writer’s Edge provides a needed connection between author and publisher that is valued by both. Publishing a book today, even in Christian circles, seems such a maze of difficulties in getting your good ideas and writing considered by a publisher. Three publishers asked to see chapters of my manuscript, and one published my book. The resulting description of my book proposal did justice to my ideas and was read by at least 80 publishers. The materials were clear and easy to fill out. ![]() From my first inquiry until a follow-up letter congratulating me about my success in finding a publisher, my experience with the the Writer’s Edge was personal and helpful. My encounter with the Writer’s Edge was excellent. Thanks, Writer’s Edge! I’m telling every aspiring writer I know about Writer’s Edge! -Marla Taviano I am waiting to hear what they think of a proposal for my next book. After sending them a proposal, then my entire manuscript, they offered me a contract. On January 6th, less than one week later, I received e-mails from two publishing companies. My book synopsis appeared in the Writer’s Edge report for publishers in December. I decided to try Writer’s Edge first, and if nothing came of it I would start looking for publishers to send my proposal to. I had been working on a book about marriage for over five years and finally had the guts to do something about it. I can’t recommend Writer’s Edge highly enough. My first book, Who Has Your Heart? The Single Woman’s Pursuit of Godliness,is out this month -Emily E. I would recommend to all writers that they use the Writer’s Edge in the beginning of their journey toward publication, not as a last resort. Two publishers requested my proposal, and in just a few short months, I had my first contract in my hand! The process led to a wonderful relationship with my editors at Discovery House Publishing and a remarkable experience as a first-time author. I never thought getting published would be such a pleasant experience, but because of the Writer’s Edge, it was! I received wonderful, prompt feedback from my reviewer and was very pleased with the summary listed in the monthly book report to the publishers. Harvest House is interested in my writing, and I am currently halfway through another book that will be reviewed by them within the next six months. Two weeks later I received an expression of interest from Harvest House Publishers, and I have been working with them over the past 8 months to produce a final draft. ![]() I did that in December and in early February received an acceptance letter and my synopsis was. However, some did mention submitting work to Writer’s Edge for an initial review. I was turned down by one publisher I approached in England and then found that most publishers won’t look at unsolicited manuscripts. They actually deliver on what they promise, which is encouraging and refreshing! I completed the draft of a book targeted at ‘pre-Christians’ encouraging people (many who have been bruised by church and Christians) to revisit who God is and what He is like. I am extremely grateful to Writer’s Edge for the service they offer and the integrity and manner in which they conduct the reviews. Hats off to a very valuable service! -Laura Frantz My first novel, The Frontiersman’s Daughter, was released August 1, 2009. I’m so thankful for all that the Writer’s Edge has done for me. I recommend this service to everyone pursuing publication. The editor who reviewed my work provided the encouragement I needed to keep going, and everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and in a timely manner. If not for the professionalism of this wonderful service, I’m sure I would still be spending fruitless hours trying to find an agent and break into the market. Within 9 months I had a 3-book contract with Revell/Baker Publishing Group. I realized then how well respected the Writer’s Edge is in the publishing industry. Although this didn’t pan out, two more major publishers contacted me as well as several smaller houses. The day after my work was posted, two major publishing houses asked to see a portion of my historical fiction novel. After realizing how difficult it was to get an agent, I submitted to the Writer’s Edge. ![]()
