It seems like everyone wants to write a book these days, but just how to go about the publishing process remains elusive to so many people. That's why Arielle Eckstut (who runs our west coast office) and her partner David Sterry have written PUTTING YOUR PASSION INTO PRINT (Workman).
This agent/author team illuminates everything from finding the right idea and the most marketable title to crafting the perfect query letter and a top-notch proposal. They also help sort out who will be the right agent and editor for your project and personality, when to go for the big bucks (and when not to), and finally, how to get your book out into the world once it's been published. To learn more about the book and to register for the PUTTING YOUR PASSION INTO PRINT contest for representation, please visit the following website:

The book grew out of a class that Arielle taught at Stanford under the same name. The interest was so overwhelming, that it lead to an appearance on National Public Radio's "Talk of the Nation" on January 29, 2002. To find out more about these, go to:
