Literary Representation

Using my twenty years in the publishing industry as an editor, writer, and now literary agent for Embolden Literary, I support well-established authors and help them find their place in the market. Offering publishing career guidance, I serve as a literary agent who will work toward securing the best and most profitable deals for my authors. Capturing and honing that “it” book concept, assisting with the development of an outstanding book proposal, presenting and placing my authors with the right publishers, negotiating contracts, and liaising between the author and their publisher for the life of the relationship are how I serve my authors best.

To learn more about the authors I represent and the kind of projects I’m looking for, please visit our agency page at emboldenmediagroup.com/literary-representation.

I am currently closed to unsolicited queries, but keep scrolling for more.

There are three opportunities for us to work together in the coming season:

1. My special Coaching + Critique package to help you quickly get unstuck

2. My immersive Author VIP Day

3. My Write Your Book 12-Week Nonfiction Book-Writing Mentorship Cohort

Are you working on a book proposal or writing your first or 100th draft of a book you desire to see published? Are you feeling unsure of what it needs to be taken seriously by agents or editors or even your readers? Are you overwhelmed with information overload about the dos and don’ts of it all. Let me help.

With more than 20 years' experience in book publishing as an acquisitions editor, collaborative writer, and literary agent, I will give you objective and professional feedback on your project. Get editorial comments on the content you submit, suggestions for organization, and focused feedback addressing questions you may have such as:

• What trends or felt needs should my writing address/reflect?

• Are my ideas any good?

• What are the strengths and weaknesses of how I'm sharing my message?

• Am I on the right track?

• What do I need to fix?

• What is my authentic voice and how can I write true to it?

• How do I tell my story without being sued or hurting those I love?

• How can I build my platform so my voice is heard?

• Who is my audience, and what do they need to hear from me?

• Should I publish this on my own or should I try to get an agent to secure a traditional publishing deal?

My goal is to help you get the answers to these questions and more so you can have confidence and clarity about the next step in your writing and publishing journey.

1. Click the graphic or the button below to book this special COACHING + CRITIQUE offer.

2. Send me 10 pages (or up to 2,500 words) of your work in progress (WIP), your book proposal, or any pages where you are feeling stuck.

3. Schedule your coaching session for at least ONE WEEK AFTER you plan to submit your WIP.

4. I’ll read it and provide editorial feedback on what you submit.

5. We will discuss it all during a 45-minute coaching session.

That’s it!

10 pages.

45 minutes.

And believe it or not, we will dig in and those forty-five minutes will feel like a relief of the last 12 months or 20 years you’ve been searching for the right help.

One coaching + critique client came back after publishing her memoir and said:

“It is PUBLISHED!!!! Thank you Jevon for your love, encouragement and expertise in helping me write Jesus story in transforming my life. Your book is SOOOO beautiful and powerful!! without a doubt, it was a major contributor to directing this “once was no writer” to AUTHOR! Your book, your coaching, your words, your love was HUGE in my writing life for I had NO idea what I was doing. So very grateful. It is ALL God…you said yes and continue to say yes and because of your obedience, I said yes and continue to say YES! Thank you with all my heart!”

—Carolyn Deck, Above the Turbulence: Your Ticket Out of Pain To Purpose

Why I Created This Mentorship

I know what it’s like to carry the weight of a book idea without the clarity or tools to write it. I also know the tremendous power that comes when those words are finally put on the page.

With 20 years of experience in publishing—working with best-selling authors, emerging voices, and writers just like you—I created this mentorship to give you what I wish every writer had: a proven process, professional guidance, and a supportive community.

This course isn’t just about writing a book—it’s about writing the book you were meant to write.

Working with her has given me a lot of confidence to do the work that I was called to do.”
