Get practical help with the decisions behind a professionally published book. I work with independent authors on editing, production, distribution, marketing, and the business of publishing.
Start with the help you need
A free clarity call gives us a chance to discuss your goals and decide whether consulting, a course, or another professional is the right next step. Prefer email? Send me a brief description of your project instead.
For consulting engagements, please review How Consulting Works & Terms of Service, including how calls and work between calls are billed.
Book Strategy Power Hour — $350
A focused 60-minute session to tackle your publishing questions and goals. Send your questions in advance so I can prepare relevant advice, resources, and recommendations.
Publishing & Marketing Consulting — $750
A three-hour block for publishing and marketing decisions, including launch or relaunch planning, metadata, ISBNs, imprint setup, advance review copies, distribution, website and email-list strategy, and related tasks. Time includes both live consultation and off-call research, planning, and documentation.
Book Production Spot Check — $497
Before you upload your finished book for distribution, get a review of formatting and production details to identify issues that may have been overlooked.
Ongoing support
For projects that need continued attention, we can discuss retainer-based support. This may include editing, audience evaluation, strategic planning, building your team, launch preparation, and distribution decisions.
How consulting works
Consulting combines live sessions with off-call research, analysis, planning, documentation, and written guidance. Billing reflects the total time spent on your project. We begin with background information and agree on the scope; this may develop as your project progresses.
Deliverables may include customized action plans, checklists, worksheets, vendor recommendations, and strategic guidance based on your goals and manuscript. Fees for completed consulting work are non-refundable. By booking services and submitting payment, you acknowledge and agree to the service terms. Read the complete Terms of Service before booking.
