Little Flower Creative Offers Advice To Aspiring Authors

Writing a book is a deeply personal and creative experience. Whether the genre is historical fiction, young adult romance or children's literary, creating a book takes time - but it also requires knowledge and expertise in book marketing and publishing. Little Flower Creative, a division of The asterism* Group, serves as a creative and marketing bridge between authors and publishing houses seeking new writers.


"If you have a fantastic idea for a book, but no product to sell, you are wasting your time and energy. Virtually no publishers, save for a rare few, will accept "idea" submissions. Best advice? Write your book, review your manuscript, compose a striking query letter then send your manuscript first class to publishers and agents - these are the essential, basic steps to getting noticed," reports CJ DiRoma, President of The asterism* Group.


Little Flower Creative, launched by The asterism* Group earlier this year, acts as a publishing consultancy for aspiring and published authors throughout the Delaware Valley Region and the United States. Little Flower Creative assists authors in targeting the most appropriate publishing houses for submissions, composing ideal query letters that reflect the theme and selling points of any book, as well as marketing manuscripts to publishing houses and literary agencies. Little Flower Creative also provides creative and promotional services for authors, including, but not limited to, graphic art design, public and media relations, event coordination and more.


"There are so many "right" and "wrong" ways to present your manuscript to a publishing house," DiRoma shares. "For novice writers, the pitfalls are great - from ineffective query letters to relying solely on email manuscript submissions to selecting the wrong stationary on which to print their manuscript submission. Publishing houses will reject for many, many reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of writing or nature of the story submitted - authors need to know the ropes."
