Recently I had a conversation with a friend who shared this trick question:

What do you sell to your customer? What they want or what they need?

I answered, “Hopefully, both!”

The answer?

Neither. You sell them what you have.

Aha!

Now to connect this question to the art of writing:

If you have an outstanding project but are hesitating to submit your work to our agency, don’t. Because the market has been challenging, we may need to decline your exceptional work. We refuse works of excellence every week. However, neither of us will ever know if we could have had a successful partnership if we didn’t have a chance to review your manuscript. 

Our agency is never desperate for submissions, nor have we ever been closed to submissions. We always enjoy reviewing proposals from authors who want to partner with us in what we all hope will be the next step to success in publishing.

Once we have your submission and agree to work together, we can pitch your work to editors. We expect the editors to decide that they want and need to publish your work.

We look forward to seeing what you have to say!
