For authors
Pitch a practical book with a clear reader.
Echo Enterprise is beginning conversations with authors of useful business, leadership, management, teamwork, and delivery books.
The process
Start small. Make the fit clear.
A concise email is easier to assess than an unsolicited manuscript. If the idea appears to fit, we will ask for the next level of detail.
Check the fit
Review the current focus and make sure your book serves a specific business reader.
Send a pitch
Email a short hook, intended reader, author background, and manuscript status.
Editorial review
We consider reader fit, distinctiveness, credibility, and the work still required.
Conversation
If there may be a fit, we will discuss the book, collaboration, and expectations.
Proposal
Any publishing arrangement begins only after both sides review and agree on written terms.
Your first email
Tell us enough to understand the book.
Please include:
- a one- or two-sentence hook;
- the intended reader and the situation the book helps them navigate;
- why you are well placed to write it;
- its current status and approximate planned word count;
- two or three comparable books and what yours adds;
- any existing audience or professional routes to readers.
Keep the first contact simple
Please do not attach a complete manuscript to the first email. If we would like to read a proposal or sample chapters, we will request them. We cannot promise a review timetable or publication, and sending a pitch does not create a confidential, editorial, or publishing relationship.
Correspondence
One address, read by a person.
Send your initial pitch to info@echostorymedia.com with “Book pitch” and your working title in the subject line.
