LWS Literary Services

After spending over a decade in financial sales, Lynn Wiese Sneyd decided to follow her heart’s desire and become a writer. She started by freelancing magazine articles, and writing and publishing a health newsletter. When an idea for a non-fiction book came to mind, she wrote a book proposal, found an agent and soon afterward secured a publisher. 'Holistic Parenting: Raising Children to a New Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being' (Keats/McGraw Hill) was released in 2000. While writing the book, she received a fellowship to the Ragdale Foundation, a writer’s colony in Lake Forest, IL.

Just before her book hit the stores, Lynn started working at Barnes & Noble as a community relations manager. There, she scheduled and promoted author events, workshops, and book fairs, and also partnered with organizations to promote literacy and the arts within the community.

In 2002, Lynn joined Russell Public Communications as a literary publicist and proceeded to develop and coordinate national, regional and local publicity campaigns for authors of non-fiction and fiction books.

She branched out on her own in 2008 when she started LWS Literary Services, which assists authors in book publicity campaigns, agent searches, book proposal writing, and editing.

A frequent presenter at writing conferences, Lynn has published articles and poetry in publications nationwide. In addition, she is the co-author/editor of 'How Happy Families Happen' (Hazelden Publishing, 2006) and 'Healthy Solutions: A Guide to Simple Healing and Healthy Wisdom' (Basic Health Publications, 2006), which received the 2007 Arizona Book Award for best health/nutrition/wellness book. Her articles and poetry have appeared in publications around the country. She currently is working on her first novel.
