of the Publishing World and Reveals Her
Proven System for Getting a Literary Agent,
Getting Published and Getting Paid!

Don't make the same mistakes 99% of all first-time authors make.
Learn the "secret knock" that makes literary agents
and publishers open the door!

Dear Fellow Writer, 

    Imagine yourself on the balcony of your vacation home overlooking a serene ocean view. The warm tropical breeze floats around you as you type away on your laptop…writing your next bestseller.  Every once and a while you look up and consider taking a break for a relaxing swim in the ocean.   

 
     Just as you reach for the cool drink sitting next to you, your cell phone rings.  “Not now,” you say to no one in particular.  But you look at the caller ID.  Hmmm, it’s your literary agent.  She knows you’re working and wouldn’t call unless it’s important.  So you decide to pick up. 

     And it’s a good thing you did.  She’s faxing over the details of a deal to make your last novel into a movie!  Whew…you’ve come a long way…from an unpublished, unknown writer to the next big thing on the literary scene. 

     Sound too good to be true?  Well, these types of scenes happen every day.  Your dream of being a successful author can come true.  All it takes is a few key ingredients:

      Once you have the first two elements, that’s when I come in.

	You can't do better than Donna Sozio. She's smart and knows her way around the business end of the publishing game. No matter how good your idea is, she can pump up the volume! Laurel Schmidt, Author Seven Times Smarter: 50 Ways to Develop the Multiple Intelligences in Your Child. www.LaurelSchmidt.com

Getting Your Book Published
Doesn’t Take a Miracle

I know, I know…the image of the struggling writer is so ingrained in your head.  How many times have you read that being rejected is a part of being a writer?  You must pay your dues before you achieve success.

     Some may say it’s the quality of the manuscript.  You may think only authors who present the most interesting and well-written manuscripts get the honor of Literary Agent representation and seeing their manuscript published.  Only the best authors get public recognition and vindication that they are real writers. 

     If your manuscript fails to attract a Publisher, does that mean it’s not any good?  If you’ve had multiple rejections and you’re losing hope, does that mean you should give up your dream of being a writer?

	Sam Stephens
	After working with Donna, I WON the Borders’ Books James Patterson Thriller Competition, was invited to be in AusLit’s anthology and won prize money from the Australian Literature Review.  Now, I’m primed for a major book deal! Sam Stephens, Author of the Jimmy Cain Thriller Series www.SamStephens.com

And Now for the Surprise…

     What I am leading to is this… The writers who attract Literary Agents and Get Published are the ones who know how to sell their manuscript.  You may have the Next Big Thing sitting on your shelf but unless you know the secret formula to getting a Literary Agent, it will probably stay there. 

   And yes, there are tons of writers’ resources that supposedly guide you through the process.  But I have never seen a comprehensive guide that gives you everything you need to know.  

	Samantha Brett
	Donna Sozio has all the tools that take the guesswork out of writing, structuring your book and making it the best it can be. Don't wait another minute! She'll make publishing your book go from a dream to a reality! Samantha Brett, Australia's #1 Relationship Columnist, author of four books, and TV Host www.SamanthaBrett.com

     My name is Donna Sozio and I was in your shoes…for so many years.  I spent a year and a half writing my book based on an idea I had in the middle of the night.  I knew I had something great.  If only I could convince a Literary Agent to read the manuscript, I knew I would have an instant bestseller! 

     So I started to read everything I could on how to get published…and believe me there is a lot of information out there.  But nothing seemed to work. 

I Struggled for 7 Years
Before I Cracked the Code

     I spent thousands of dollars on writers’ extension classes, writers’ conferences, private coaching, memberships, mentors, publicists, panels and interviews.  And believe me, not one person ever told me what you will find out in my E-Course.  

     After all of my years of research, I never found one source that had all of the information I needed to know.  Trust me, no one will tell you the Secret Rules of Publishing.  They’re like the secret “powder stashes” at a popular ski resort.  The locals do everything to keep them a secret. 

     But get ready for literary success because I’m about to change all that.  After my seven years of research, I finally got it.  And once I cracked the code, my results skyrocketed!  

	Within 3 weeks of submitting, I received multiple offers from reputable literary agencies! In another 3 weeks, my manuscript sold to a major book publisher! A producer then optioned the movie rights! Again, I received multiple offers of literary representation. I sold the TV/Film rights of my second book to a 5-time Emmy Award Winning Producer, before I finished writing it! Plus, I’ve received major national publicity including The Tyra Banks Show, Good Day LA, and Early Show

 

But Donna, You Make it Sound So Simple!

Well yes…it is simple.   That’s why I wrote The Secret Rules of Publishing:  What Every First-Time Author Needs to Know.

     Whether you’ve written a romance novel, an action-packed novel, a non-fiction book, a children’s book or maybe you’re still working on your manuscript, it doesn’t matter.  If you follow my simple system, you’ll dramatically boost your chances of getting a Literary Agent and getting your manuscript Published. 

     My system includes everything you need to know about how to get a Literary Agent and get your Book Published.  I tell you what no one else will.  You’ll tap into my hard-won wisdom so you can be the success you were meant to be.  

     Following my system will get you noticed in the literary world.  I will guide you every step of the way and help you avoid the pitfalls most first-time authors make.

I Also Received Letters From Delighted Writers

	William S.
	“Dear Donna, I just wrote a collection of short stories.  Everyone told me how good they are and how I should find a literary agent but I didn’t know even the first step to take.  This book made it clear.  Now, I know what to do.  I know how to maintain the integrity of my book while I “sell” it to agents.  Yours, William S., Costa Mesa, CA”

 

	Sandy K.
	“Donna, Before reading your eCourse, I had no idea just how much I was getting in my own way while trying to get published.  I would always procrastinate and then get down on myself for not following through.  Reading your chapter on the “Submission Olympics” got me going.  I’ve now submitted to over 45 agents and as your book taught me… I’m expecting the best!  Your book pulled me out of my rut and put me into action.  I’ve never felt better about being a writer.  I had to write to thank you!  Best, Sandy K., Austin, TX”

 

	Linda V.
	“Hi Donna! I’m finally doing what I’ve only been talking about for years!  I’ve actually rewritten the query letter for my novel.  It’s light years more marketable than what I previously had. As I read your book the light bulb went off inside my head.  Although I work in marketing I never thought about actually applying what I know to sell my own book.  Sometimes it takes someone else to point out the million-dollar idea staring you in the face.  What’s best is that you showed me how to use the sincerity of my book’s own message to get an agent’s attention.  Thanks again, Linda V., Seattle, WA”
