With more than twenty years experience as an editor and writer, Cynthia Hughes Literary Management president Cyndi Hughes and her editorial associates can provide both aspiring and experienced authors with valuable editorial services for books and book proposals, including:

• Book-concept consultation
• Writing coaching
• Writing services (such as ghostwriting or co-writing)
• Manuscript evaluation
• Book-proposal development, evaluation, and/or editing
• Query letter development and/or evaluation
• Editing (both developmental and copyediting)
• Fact-checking and research
• Editorial project management
• Publishing consultation

For authors on a budget, we offer a one-hour consultation (either by phone or in person) that provides direction and ideas for how best to move forward.

To meet an author's or publisher's needs, we will conduct a complimentary interview and then present a proposal recommending areas to address.

Please contact CHLM before sending manuscripts or books.

Because of the number of submissions we receive, unsolicited materials will not be acknowledged or returned, unless an SASE postcard/return shipping envelope is included.
