"Angie Dicken was amazing with my One Sheets. Not only was she extremely timely, she basically hit the nail on the head with the very first try. She got my story, understood my needs, happily made tweaks and supplied a product over and beyond my expectations--in an affordable price range. My agent appointments noticed and commented on the fantastic layout of my One Sheets. Highly recommended for the conference bound writer!" -Casey Herringshaw, Frasier Finalist

What You Need Before We Start:

Title, genre

A back cover copy

Sales Handle and Elevator pitch

(check proposal guidelines

at www.stevelaube.com)

Manuscript status

Bio, picture of yourself

Use of black and white to represent theme
(Coal mining town, prejudice)

Set the tone: if it's not obvious in your back cover copy, what's the feel of your novel? Is it rustic, romantic, funny, modern, high tech, mysterious, etc. Is there an underlying theme that could be represented in the visual? For example, if it's about prejudice (my example to the right), would high contrast, black and white be ideal? Do you see a specific color palette when you think of your book?
