Now writers seeking publishers and agents for their books and film industry contacts for their scripts can easily make connections by email with the help of a newly launched company The Publishing Connection (www.thepublishingconnection.com).  One of the partners, Gini Graham Scott, has a long history making these connections through Publishers and Agents, beginning in 2004, and now this new company is expanding the service globally, through a partnership with SEO expert Martin Delgado, who is an expert in helping clients optimize their websites with a team of global participants in Mexico, Romania, and Turkey.

      The service works by connecting clients using their email with a targeted group of book editors, literary agents, film producers, production companies, film agents/managers, and distributors based on the individuals type of projects.  Then, the company sends out their query using special software that personalizes the letters to the recipients, and responses come directly to the writer. The company also helps the writers craft a really good letter or writes it for them – a key to getting a letter both received and read.  The techniques for writing a good letter are featured in Scott's book: Sell Your Book, Script or Column.

      Some of the past clients have included the authors of very successful books, including You'll Never Nanny in this Town Again, by a nanny to the stars in Hollywood who experienced a few difficult clients, and The Fireman's Wife, written shortly before the 9/11 attack. Since its founding, the original company has sent out over 1000 query letters and obtained over 260 testimonials from writers who have found agents, publishers, or producers. Now before even launching officially, the new company has assisted over a dozen writers send out queries and gained kudos from a half-dozen of them.

      Scott herself sold over 20 books to publishers using the service, including 9 popular business books to AMACOM, a Do You Look Like Your Dog? book to Random House, two books on success in the film industry Finding Funds for Your Film and TV Project and The Complete Guide to Writing, Producing, and Directing a Low Budget Short Film to Hal Leonard.  And amazingly, since Scott set up the service, it has been the only company doing this, because of the expertise required to run the service successfully – from regularly updating the databases to knowledgeably working with clients who have many questions about the best way to approach publishers, agents, and producers to targeting and sending out the queries.  The new Operations Manager is Chelsea Donlin, who has an extensive background in website design, database management, and customer relations.
