Getting Started

• You’ve been working hard on your manuscript, writing nights and weekends to get it ready for prime time.
• You’ve been asked for the umpteenth time when you’re going to write a book based on that fabulous presentation that packs ’em in every time.
• You’ve got a great idea for a new book—but how do you get from great idea to published book?
• You know your manuscript needs something, but you’re not sure what.

Whether you’re toying with an idea, building a manuscript from existing materials, or just steps away from seeking a publisher for your finished manuscript, we’re here to help make your publishing dreams come true.

The brains behind bibliobibuli is Kelli Christiansen, who has spent more than two decades in the publishing industry and has edited literally hundreds of manuscripts, successfully bringing many hundreds of books to publication (so many we’ve lost count!). Kelli works with seasoned authors as well as first-timers, providing writers with attention, assistance, and guidance as they work toward achieving their publishing goals—from query letter, pitch, and book proposal to polished, production-ready manuscript.

Take advantage of Kelli’s knowledge and expertise to help you get your manuscript ready for publication:

• More than twenty years of professional editorial experience working with well-known publishers such as Amacom, McGraw-Hill, Osprey, Wiley, and Workman.
