Advice to Authors

The majority of aspiring authors are not ready to sell a proposal or book to a mainstream house.

Karen Gantz explains: “You may only have one bite at the apple. So many authors need major restructuring of their proposals or books, and that’s why we’ve joined forces with Dr. Joyce Starr. Our dream client is a great listener.”

Living in New York, Karen meets with editors weekly, identifying those editors who are hands-on editors and are the most passionate advocates for her authors. Few people understand the extensive hours involved in her work as both a literary agent and attorney — including the time involved in reaching publishers, making a pitch, following up and negotiating a contract.
