Nonfiction Authors
....................................................................................................................................................................
Ways I help nonfiction authors tell their story
• Conceptual editing (organize and strengthen your proposal or manuscript)
• Write book proposals and cover letters to be sent to agents and publishers
• Create a promotional plan and materials for your book
For Natalee Righetti, daughter of San Francisco Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti, I edited her book manuscript on living with a disability and being the daughter of a professional athlete, wrote a book proposal and consulted on the self-publishing process. See her book here.
"Julie's passion for helping other's voices to be heard is obvious through how thoughtful she is in how she edits!" Natalee Righetti

“Having survived three years of agony, bringing a book to fruition with the help of a “real publisher,” I have nothing but praise for the ease and efficiency A Book in the Hand have exhibited in editing, designing and preparing for marketing my self-published book, “Judge* Hoff, Jesus Loves You But The Rest Of Us Think You’re An A**hole.” The book became a reality within a matter of months. I found A Book in the Hand’s help in navigating the book-related online universe to be particularly helpful. I would highly recommend their services to any author.”
Agatha Hoff, author of Judge* Hoff, Jesus Loves You But the Rest of Us Think You're an A**hole!

"If it weren't for ABITH I would still be sitting at my computer with a great idea and a rough manuscript, but bemoaning my lack of design skills and utter unfamiliarity with online publishing. Instead, because I called ABITH, I now have a beautifully finished paperback available on Amazon.
If, like me, you have a book brewing in your head but you need some help taking it from concept all the way to the finish line, talk to ABITH about the ways they can help you edit, design and market your work. Every author needs a good team to make a dream reality."
