About Me

Who I Am & Why I Offer This Clinic

With nearly 20 years in publishing, I am a multi #1 international, best-selling, award-winning author; an award-winning freelance writer, a professional developmental editor (EFA), and a sought-after book and business consultant. As The Literary Agent Matchmaker(TM), I know what it takes to present a winning query that sells your story so you can catch a literary agent’s eye with it.

I support first-time writers and seasoned authors with the essentials for writing a bestseller: a great project, a strong platform and a well-polished pitch, presentation and hook for their book or project. I provide guidance for the writing, editing, getting published/produced and marketing of their book ideas and projects as well as the building of their platform to raise their visibility to readers/viewers, Hollywood, and the media.

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, Writers Digest Novel Writing Conference, Thrillerfest, RT Booklovers Convention, 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, Writers For New Orleans Writers Conference with Heather Graham, and others.

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

“The most valuable parts of Jennifer’s services were the one-on-one consultations and the structure she provided.

“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.”
