Sometimes authors can write well, but they don’t know where to begin or end. Other times, they have questions about how best to structure or outline their book. Bookchic’s skill set includes the ability to help develop the appropriate approach for the category in which the book will be published, as well as a sense of what the market responds to editorially.

Developing content is often on an author’s list of needs, as well as answering questions regarding the use of supplemental material, such as illustrations and gripping layouts.
