Tired of looking through books that are 400+ pages long. Or, asking someone a question only to get a long winded answer (yes, I'm guilty of that one!) Well, look no more. Here is information you can use, FAST...in a nutshell!

Welcome to my aspiring author's page. If you have considered becoming a published author this is the place to be. Why? Because I hope to be your mentor, someone you can look to for answers and someone whose opinion you can take seriously.

I have many years of experience in the publishing world and believe me; I've made my share of mistakes some of them costly. With the information online, much of it for free...who can you trust? I recently worked with an author who claimed their book had been picked up by a publisher. After extending my congratulations, I asked the name of the publisher only to find it was a pay-for Vanity Press: Print On Demand service. Not that all print on demand services are "bad" but some pass themselves off as real publishers wanting your manuscript when in reality you pay to have it published.

Believe me when I tell you that an authentic publisher is not going to pay for a click through link on a website that starts with the heading ..."We are looking for people to publish..." They have a slush pile full of people wanting them to publish, and sadly many of those manuscripts will never be noticed. (That’s what I hope to help you avoid.)

So, that's what this website is all about...all about learning more!

I've created a DVD and a book about the process.  More info Here:

"Felice, is there anything you would do differently if you could in regard to your writing career?"

"Yes, there is. I would have taken more classes, attended more writing conferences and found a MENTOR to help me in the writing process. You know, someone I could call and ask a question. Someone who would read a few pages, and someone who would give me the encouragement I needed."

That's it.

Do you have a manuscript you would like to see published? Do your homework and find out what the publisher is seeking. Please query first at felice (at) mediaangels.com before you submit or send me a manuscript.

If your work is fiction it must be completed first. If your work is non-fiction you may query first. If I am interested I will ask for additional information.

Here are my guidelines:

Media Angels, Inc. is a company with a Christian focus. Currently I am interested in the following:

1. Non-fiction titles dealing with the Information In a Nutshell TM idea. Manscripts that are 20,000-25,000 words in length, can explain a concept or topic in a systematic, informative way, and is easy to read. The work must be orginal with sources listed.
2. Children fiction titles that are Christ centered, or deal with fantasy that has Christian undertones (such as Chronicles of Narnia, etc.).
3. Curriculum with the Christian or homeschool market in mind.
