My work

Hello, and Welcome to my page! 


Our Business is in the marketing and promotion of literary works of some note. We hope to be able to serve our aspiring authors well by helping them to become published authors, and may those with special talents, infuse some 'new blood' into the global publishing industry. “Just remember...It takes longer to write a book, than it takes for it to be read." We believe there is always room for more writers with colorful and unique writing styles and techniques, who are able to offer a wider choice of compelling and innovative ideas and story plots to our global readership.


OUR AVAILABLE SERVICES
We offer representation to new author, and we market and promote their literary works to Publishers. We specialize in different areas of the industry and accept all genres of Fiction and Non-Fiction. We assess all works of fiction including Children’s, Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance, and Crime, Literary Fiction, General Fiction, Women’s Popular Fiction, Gay and Lesbian, Sci-Fi Fantasy/Horror, Sci-Fi Adult/Fantasy/Thriller, and non-fiction in areas of Autobiography, Life Story, Biography, Short Story Collections, Poetry Volumes (in limited numbers only). We offer proofreading and line editing services, in-depth manuscript assessments covering areas such as characterization, plot, settings, dialogue and style. This objective analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of manuscripts will assist in improving work, and our assessments are detailed and rigorous; providing authors with constructive comment on the strengths and weaknesses of their work. In particular we offer novelists our professional screenplay adaptational services (Our specialty). Although we are New Zealand based, we also have an agent in Australasia, and welcome all international submissions from every corner of the globe.

Note: Emailed manuscript submissions are preferred, but we also accept CD format where access to computer technology is out of reach. We no longer provide specialty-publishing services within New Zealand Shores and now focus all our energies into the literary agency side of things. On the main, we target the services of offshore Publishers for most of our clients, availing us to more varied services and publishing opportunities, enabling us to reach a wider readership. Some of our promising, yet unpublished aspiring authors, will be able to infuse their own unique stamp on the industry by offering a wealth of diverse talents, in order to satisfy a multiple of genres that are being sought by an ever-growing and more discerning readership audience around the globe. Those of our authors who are already published are enjoying excellent books sales, and a number of their works have been approved for movie production.

We are pleased, and proud, to announce that we shall be reviewing numerous exciting new works, written by a number of our talented writers listed on our Webblog sites, for 2011 and 2012, and we shall keep you informed of the progress that is being made for those authors whose works are being considered for movie projects over the months ahead. So keep on the lookout.
