Contact Form and Information about BPD

Free Proposal Consultation or Sample Edit

After reading the articles (or even before, if you'd like), I'd be happy to provide you with a free initial consultation or provide a sample edit for a manuscript. To set up either, simply:

Fill out the Contact Form to request a phone appointment (from Lori Lisi).
Include the status of your manuscript and any submission materials.
Include several possible time frames to set up a phone appointment.
If you have a draft of your proposal and/or the first two chapters of your manuscript, please upload that into the form as well.

You will be contacted within 24 to 72 hours. This will allow me the time to review the materials and information you might send before we set up the phone appointment. Please be sure to include times you might be available to set up the appointment.

I'll look forward to speaking with you!

Book Proposal Services

If you prefer that I write the book proposal for you, please review the Writing service.

If you would like to write the book proposal yourself and primarily want guidance for doing so, please review the Coaching service.

If you already have a book proposal and would like a critique of it, please review the Critiquing service.

Manuscript Services

If you would like general feedback regarding your manuscript, please check out the Book Critique service.

If your manuscript would be better served by an edit, check out the Book Editing service.

If you are uncertain as to the type of assistance your manuscript might need, simply request a Free Sample Edit for an initial assessment of the editing level that might be needed.

Do you have your manuscript and/or book proposal ready and need to know what to do next? We research literary agents and write query letters specific to your project. See our Literary Agents Research and Query Letters services.

Testimonials

"Lori's expert advice and editing services were invaluable to me during the proposal stage of my first book. As a novice to the publishing world, I welcomed Lori's insightful suggestions, all of which turned out to be right on the money."

Jerry Manas, author of Napoleon on Project Management: Timeless Lessons in Planning, Execution, and Leadership

"Lori worked miracles with my book proposal. It was a project I could have never done myself with the degree of excellence given to the project by Lori. Great job as always, Lori."

Kenny G. Down, author of Awakened Giant, Sleeping Spirit

"As a fledgling writer, ready to jump out of the nest, I was a bit lost with the whole process of navigating the publishing industry. Thanks to Lori, I found my way!

"She helped me with my first book proposal and book outline that eventually landed me a literary agent. In fact, she was more helpful and more encouraging than that first agent. And, I give her the credit for helping me overcome my doubt and continuing on with my writing journey.

"From there, it’s been a roller-coaster ride filled with some struggle and excitement. I landed a new agent, self-published two books, wrote television and film scripts, magazine articles, and continue to develop new projects for my life coaching website. I still use that first work by Lori as a guide.

"Through the years, I've stayed in contact with Lori, her website, and her periodic email check-ins. She has an extraordinary love for writing; she is a fantastic coach, a skilled editor, and an energetic cheerleader for anyone hoping to make a living through their writing.

"Thanks to her guidance and education, I now have a growing income stream from my all literary projects! I would recommend her to anyone needing support with their publishing career!"

Mark C. Jones, MA, LPC

"I cannot praise Lori, and the work she did for me, enough. A true professional in every respect. I would recommend her, and have recommended her, to other writers."

Patty Lawler, author of The Labrinth's Reply

"You are the best at what you do!"

Reshonda Tate-Billingsley, Essence best-selling author of over ten published novels

"Lori Lisi is top notch and at the top of her game. She not only helps smooth out all the kinks and rough edges, she teaches you. I've learned so much about structure... balance... keeping the reader's attention... fluidity... The best thing about working with Lori is that she not only helps you turn your rough manuscript into a professional one... She allows you to keep your voice at the same time."

Dwayne S. Joseph, author of The Choices Men Make, A Dollar and A Dream, Around The Way Girls, The Womanizers, and Never Say Never—all published.

"This has been a wonderful experience for me. Not only has it improved Parish, but it's given me a deeper perspective on my work in general. Your suggestions have been astute, and your observations have been perceptive. I can't thank you enough. It's been a pleasure working with so excellent an editor."

Roy Denunzio, author of The Parish at Woodbridge

"I am in awe of what good editors like you do... The synopsis and query are just what I was looking for. They have an emotional quality that I seem more able to put into my writing than my business materials. Thanks! "

Brian Jones, author of Washington Avenue
