Project Assessment

Please complete the brief questionnaire below if you’d like Wheatmark to discuss working with you on your publishing project. You don't need to have a finished manuscript to get started.

The more complete your answers, the better we’ll be able to assist you. As a thank-you gift for your carefully considered responses, we’ll email you our latest special report, The Author's Guide to Choosing a Publishing Service.

Please note that your submission is for informational purposes only. Providing us with this information doesn’t guarantee that we’ll work with you to publish your book, nor does it obligate you to do anything else at all, ever.
