Consulting and Editorial Services
Consulting
From time to time, an author encounters a publishing situation that calls for the guidance of an experienced publishing professional. This may involve designing an effective proposal for presentation to a publisher, developing a strategy to position a book successfully, or determining the most appropriate publishing pathway—traditional, independent, or hybrid.
Consulting may also include targeted research to help identify markets, audiences, or comparables for a published or unpublished work, as well as advice on marketing strategies or contract review and negotiation.
The Robert Lecker Agency offers consulting services tailored to the specific needs of each project. These services are available on an hourly or contract basis and are offered whether or not we represent you as a client of the agency.
Editorial
In addition to providing the full services of a literary agency, we offer private editorial services for authors seeking assistance in developing proposals or refining manuscripts for submission. Drawing on a group of established writers and editors, we work closely with authors to strengthen structure, clarity, and presentation, while preserving the integrity of the author’s voice.
Editorial services are provided on a strictly confidential basis. We can work on an hourly basis for short-term projects or on a contract basis for more extensive work requiring sustained editorial attention beyond two weeks.
