Mentoring
The reality is that getting published is tough…
Publishers and agents are inundated every day with manuscripts from writers looking for their big break. The secret to getting your book noticed is good writing and a well focused submission. BubbleCow has a proven track record of mentoring writers to achieve the dream of seeing their work in print.
At BubbleCow you are able to work closely with established and successfully published authors to improve your writing. We will help you to make your manuscript the best it can be and then give the guidance you need to ensure your book is put in front of the correct publisher or agent.
Why be mentored?
- First and foremost to be thoroughly edited.
- For structure, deadlines and creative input.
- For a deeper insight into the publishing industry.
- For advice and support.
- For consultancy on where your writing would best fit and in which market.
- To strengthen your confidence in a competitive industry.
- To make sure that you reach your full potential.
How does it work?
Each mentoring package is different and is tailored to meet the needs, time restraints and financial circumstances of each writer. However, the basic approach is the same. A writer is matched to a published author and they work closely together. The author will provide support, as well as regular edits and feedback on the work. Once the mentoring process is completed BubbleCow will give you advice and help in placing your book with the best possible agent and/or publisher.
