About Me

Who I Am & Why I Offer This Clinic

I am a multi #1 international best-selling award-winning author and a creative consultant for book writers, screenwriters, scriptwriters, playwrights, ghostwriters, and freelance writers in writing, editing, marketing, getting published and getting their projects produced for their books, films, television series, episodic series for streaming services, stage productions, and freelance writing work.

I am a platinum member of New York Women in Film & Television where I lead the writers group for the organization, a member of the Womens Media Group of elite publishing professionals, and a member of Women in Film in Los Angeles.

I have been working with writers with book proposals for nearly 20 years.

I have spoken and taught at major industry events including the Writers Guild of America East, New York Women In Film & Television, Chelsea Film Festival, Writers Digest Annual Conference, Book Expo America, New York Center for Independent Publishing, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, NYC Screenwriters, and others.

Here’s what my clients have accomplished with the book proposals we’ve completed and what the industry says about me:

“You may be the most gifted author on the planet, but if you don’t know how to market yourself and your project, no one but you will ever know. Strap yourself in and hang on for an amazing ride which gives you the a, b, cs of crafting a book proposal which will stand out from the pack. Not only will you be guided by the extraordinary Jennifer S. Wilkov, who will give you inside info you can’t get anywhere else, but you will meet industry professionals who are the buyers of what you are selling. They will give their pet peeves and what inspires and excites them. Anyone who has written a book and needs to understand how to get a deal for their book should take this course. You will save yourself hours, days, weeks or months of beating your head against the wall and wondering why your proposals are not landing in the way you had anticipated.”

The most important result I accomplished from working with Jennifer was that she got the job done and I can now move my book project forward. Jennifer takes the mystery out of publishing.”

“Dear Jennifer, Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate all your work and how useful it was for me. Writing a query letter is much more of an art than I ever expected it to be and I couldn’t have done it without your help. For anyone thinking of utilizing your services, I would highly recommend it. Thanks again.”

“Jennifer is a true mastermind of the book world and life. I knew nothing about social media or the book world and, after 5 years of writing, I was only halfway through my book. She creates a program that is individualized for your needs and book to give you the best opportunity for success. Since following her advice, I have finished my book, written several articles, gotten published with a 4-figure advance with the query letter and book proposal we completed, and my business has grown exponentially–and so have my profits. I recommend if you want success with your book and/or business you should hire Jennifer S. Wilkov, by far the best Book & Business Consultant, Speaker and Literary Agent Matchmaker™ you will ever work with.”
