You add your magic, your flow, your polish. Together, we get a professional result.
FAQ: Do I need a finished manuscript?

FAQ: What exactly is the “publicity packet”? What do I leave with?
In this masterclass, “publicity packet” means your Agent-Ready Submission Packet, which includes: query letter, synopsis, comp titles, timeliness and target markets, agent list + submission requirements, and chapter summaries. If those sounds like a foreign language, THIS is why Book Deal Masterclass was created; you need EVERY PART of that list done right.

Yes. BDMC is designed for writers with a finished or near-finished manuscript who are ready to begin preparing for submission seriously.
