Welcome to thewriterslifeline.com
This site offers writers of all kinds information, guidance, solutions,
and opportunities for transporting their vision onto the page and
into the commercial marketplace in a way that will reach the greatest
possible audience. We hope you'll find this site informative, instructive,
entertaining, and ultimately profitable.
The Writer's Lifeline is a full-range editorial services company
led by founder and chairman Ken Atchity and
president Andrea McKeown, building on Ken's
thirty-five years experience in the literary world: as author, screenwriter,
consultant, editor, instructor, publisher, agent, literary manager,
and public speaker.
Writer's Lifeline prepares writers for
the commercial book and film marketplace by bringing your skills
to the level of your talent and vision. Writer's Lifeline clients
have accounted for millions of dollars in booked sales by our sister
(parent) company AEI
Literary Management and Motion Picture Production since we opened
our doors in 1996.
Writer's Lifeline appraises your writing with practical-minded discernment
and teaches you, one on one, how to marry creativity and commerce.
Because of our special relationship with AEI, we're always on the
lookout for potentially commercial writing talent that we can bridge
to the success you deserve. That means our editorial guidance is
based not only upon artistic principles, but also upon today's marketplace
realities.
Once we've helped you bring your project up to the highly competitive
level of the marketplace, we help you take that last step by having
our sister company AEI or an appropriate agency give it priority
consideration for representation. Sometimes, all it takes is being
pointed in the right direction by a coach who's played in the big
leagues. We've helped bestsellers Steve
Alten, James Michael Pratt,
Shirley Palmer, Cheryl
Saban, Ripley's
Believe-It-Or-Not, John
Scott Shepherd, and Minnesota
Governor Jesse Ventura. Let Writer's Lifeline help you perfect
your best asset.
Our development professionals can help you get your finished work
into shape for today's market. You can save even more money, time,
and sweat by retaining the services of a development editor BEFORE
you finish your manuscript.
We can help you over the rough spots, help you translate your talent
into the kind of marketable skill that publishers and entertainment
execs recognize - and get excited about.
