HarperCollins would like to get an idea of the ways you feel they could support authors. Discuss with them what you believe to be their responsibilities in this collaboration but also discuss how you will hold up your portion of the duties. How can HarperCollins best ensure an author's success, and what are you willing to do to make sure you support their efforts?

"For an up and coming author, I believe that HarperCollins could help by not only helping to sell a book or manuscript but also to teach the author about the industry and how to navigate its ins and outs. Negotiating lucrative contracts is another important aspect for HarperCollins to handle. As an experienced publishing professional, I know first hand how challenging it is for an author to fight for their work and its worth."
