At Idea Architects we help build ideas into important books. Whether originating book ideas for authors or shaping book ideas that writers, agents, and publishers bring to us, our goal is to work closely with you to envision, structure, and write your book. To accomplish this, we provide a wide range of creative services.
| | | | | | | | Idea Exploration | We will explore your vision and advise you on how it can best be presented in today’s competitive book-buying climate. | | | | | Book Blueprint | We can prepare a brief blueprint for your book proposal and your subsequent book. In it, we will provide a one-sentence "key note" or "selling line" about your book’s essential purpose, a description of the book’s unique qualities, a comparison to existing books, a proposed table of contents, and several title suggestions. | | | | | Book Proposal | The book proposal is an extremely important tool for securing an attractive publishing contract. It is too often written without an accurate understanding of what publishers are looking for. We have years of experience working with established agents and prestigious publishers, and we can help you write a comprehensive book proposal that will result in a strong financial, editorial, and marketing commitment from the right publisher. | | | | | Developmental Editing | In today’s publishing environment, many in-house editors do not have the time to shape and develop books that need more than simple copyediting. From restructuring books and chapters to addressing issues of tone and style, we work with authors at every level—conceptual, structural, and stylistic. | | | | | Writing and Revising | Luminaries in a variety of fields often require professional assistance when writing books or preparing revised editions of their already published work. Whether ghostwriting, coauthoring, or revising, we will work with you to present your ideas most creatively and clearly in book form. | | | | Editorial Project
Management | Well-known authors and established experts frequently do not have the time or resources to develop book ideas for successful publication. We will work with you at every stage of the process, from idea exploration to book proposal preparation to manuscript writing, to make publication a rich and rewarding experience. | | | | | Editorial Coaching | Some authors need help planning their work and coaching to transform the writing process—an inevitably challenging one—into a source of joy and inspiration. Joining the roles of creativity coach, confidant, and editorial collaborator, we will help you realize the book you have so far been unable to write. | | | | | Publishing Consulting | Drawing on our extensive experience in the industry, we are able to offer advice on publishing, editing, design, production, and marketing. We can also help you find the agents and publishers that will sell and publish your work most successfully. |
