WordWise Media Services

At WordWise Media Services we represent award-winning authors in a wide range of genres for children and adults. We have personal relationships with hundreds of acquisitions editors, and we know exactly what type of material they'want. Fewer and fewer publishers will accept a manuscript or proposal directly from an unknown writer these days; instead, they rely on literary agents to separate wheat from chaff and send them only the best work that has been thoroughly vetted and edited.  

​

But that's only half the story, and almost beside the point. For if all you want is to see your name on a book cover, you don't need us. With the right skills and strategies, you can do it yourself quite

easily. (But you probably want to sell those books and write another one, right?) We take the long view, looking beyond your current project, to help you advance in your career. After all, what's good for you, is good for us.

Editors come and go, companies merge and disappear, and departments get rearranged. We keep up with these changes for you. Publishers whisper to us about opportunities that are never revealed to the general public. Do you really want to spend all your time with that research, or would you rather spend your time actually writing?

Strategy is important: Do you have an overworked theme, or is it truly fresh and original? If they offer a contract, should you accept it? Inexperienced writers won't have these insights, and you might be better off to keep walking. We can help you score a larger advance, negotiate better contract terms, and sell more books. With this advantage you'll be well-positioned to sell your next book, and the one after that.
