Polished Publishing Group (PPG) is now offering Calgary and area writers (aspiring authors) an in-person book project consultation with a book publisher and fellow author. This one-hour coffee meeting is appropriate for those who have been working on their manuscripts for a while, have at least 30 pages written, are wondering if their projects are viable, and are seeking advice regarding the various publishing options that are available to them. Along with this one-on-one meeting, the writer will receive one free copy of either: How to Publish a Book in Canada or How to Publish a Bestselling Book. And the coffee is on us!

This option includes the one-hour in-person book project consultation and free book as mentioned in the above "Discuss Your Book Project Over Coffee" option. The writer is also encouraged to bring along a USB memory stick or flash drive containing up to the first 30 pages (double-spaced, using Times New Roman 12-point font, roughly 5,000 words in total) of his or her manuscript for review by one of PPG’s copy editors. The copy editor will offer basic advice and guidance on writing style, spelling, grammar, and punctuation to complement the publishing/business advice given at the one-hour in-person consultation. (Allow up to 7 business days for the copy editor’s reply.) And, of course, the coffee is on us!
