Researching and writing a scholarly book requires deep focus over a period that often extends into years.
Producing a well-structured book proposal in the final stages can become a daunting task. The author can find themselves too close to their material to pull out its key highlights objectively, those essential core points that will convince a publisher of the work's entire value.
Outside Opinion offers that extra pair of eyes to go over the proposal before it is sent. Our Early Advice proposal evaluation ensures it is succinct and streamlined, and delivers to the chosen publisher's specific requirements.
Each manuscript and each author are different in their needs and competing pressures for writing time. Outside Opinion develops tailored workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions that have proven success in moving proposal submissions to delivery and increasing the likelihood of acceptance.
With a team widely experienced in all stages of book publishing, Outside Opinion has the capacity to tailor further ongoing support to guide authors through subsequent substantive editorial changes and developing the manuscript to final copy.
