What People Are Saying…
“Mark is an extraordinary editor and writer – a master of the trade. He handled some of our most famous authors – from inception to book proposal to final edit – with love and panache. It has been a pleasure to have personally worked with him for nearly a decade in the development of numerous books, four of which I purchased for my company.”
— Jeremy P. Tarcher, Founder and Past President of Tarcher/Putnam Books, a division of Penguin USA
I had been working on “my” book for nearly a year, and I was stuck. It wasn’t going anywhere. It took Mark less than a half hour to reframe my book into a powerful message for my fans. He showed me how to put together a knock-out proposal in a couple of weeks. Mark saved me hundreds of hours of work and inspired me to write what I’ve dreamed about.
— Patricia Gras, Senior Host/ Producer of Living Smart, Houston PBS, and Emmy Award-Winning Journalist.
I asked Mark to help me write the proposal for a new book called Connections. He created a fabulous proposal and he personally showed it to Jeremy Tarcher, the famous NY publisher… he and my agent only saw it as a $50,000 book. So Mark dreamed up a new idea, based on the subtitle from my previous book. Mark’s book proposal skills have gotten me six-figure advances three times in a row…work with Mark. He’ll turn your message into gold.
— Andrew Newberg, MD, Jefferson University, University of Pennsylvania.
There are many good authors with many great ideas, but getting those ideas published is quite another thing. Mark Waldman is not only an excellent writer, editor and evaluator of talent; he has the necessary knowledge and insight to turn literary hopes into literary realities. There is no question that without his help and guidance my first book would never have been published.
— Jim Stempel, Author of 5 books, including When Beliefs Fail and The Nature of War.
Mark is a genius! He negotiated my advance on the first book, and he restructured it in a way that taught me how to construct my next book – a truly priceless lesson. Mark unselfishly passes on great ideas and helps his clients and students find the right words without interfering with their vision…Without his knowledge of the writing industry, I wouldn’t be published!
