Hi, I’m Eli Bortz. I’ve served as an acquiring editor and editor in chief, and witnessed firsthand the evolution of publishing. With 20 years’ experience in the business, I now provide authors insight into the unique world of books:
Polishing your book proposal, query letter, or pitch? I’ve read hundreds of them, and I can tell you what editors really seek out.
Do you need in-depth, personalized guidance on revising your dissertation? I’ve personally guided dozens of scholars through the process.
Are you trying to interpret or respond to complex external reviewer reports? I can serve as a seasoned pair of eyes on identifying what’s truly important to your editors.
Are you hoping to get that final manuscript package exactly right, according to your publishers’ guidelines? I’ve helped write those guidelines, and I can help you break it down to the essential steps.
