WHAT WILL I DO FOR YOU?

First and foremost, I am here to secure you a deal with a publisher. This will be our most critical step, and one that requires someone who can "speak their language". What happens before and after the book deal, however, is in many ways where the real value of our partnership is delivered.I am an editorial agent, keen to workshop your plot, characters, and even work on some line-level brushups to ensure your manuscript is in the best shape it can be before submitting to publishers.Once your manuscript is in the hands of editors, I will act as the intermediary between you and the publisher, fighting to retain the vision you have for your story, and ensuring your creativity is freed from the burdens of the business side of publishing.Furthermore, I correspond with the right people within the industry to secure you promotional opportunities, and ensure that further opportunities await you as you continue your journey as an emerging author.

A practitioner of both the creative and the administrative; the macro and the micro.Vivi is excited to bring their rigour and expertise to help other fellow novelists achieve their wildest writerly aspirations.
