Consulting Services

Every author’s publishing journey is different. Some want the freedom and speed of self-publishing, while others dream of landing a traditional book deal. My consulting services are custom tailored to meet you where you are—giving you the clarity, tools, and strategy to move forward on the publishing path that’s right for you.

For Indie Authors

Understand the industry. Build your business.

Self-publishing offers control, flexibility, and the ability to get your work into readers’ hands faster. But with so many moving parts—editing, design, distribution, marketing, and branding—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

That’s where I come in. As your publishing consultant, I’ll help you:

  • Craft a self-publishing plan that fits your timeline, budget, and goals

  • Understand the platforms available (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, etc.) and which are right for you

  • Develop an author brand and platform that attracts readers

  • Map out a successful book launch strategy

  • Create a long-term plan for turning one book into a sustainable author business

You’ll walk away with actionable steps, professional insight, and the confidence to publish your book like a pro.

For Authors Seeking a Book Deal

Navigate with clarity and strategy.

The traditional publishing world can feel like a maze—exclusive, competitive, and often confusing. If your goal is to secure an agent and land a publishing contract, I’ll guide you through the process step by step.

Through consulting, I’ll help you:

  • Prepare your manuscript so it’s ready for submission

  • Develop a polished nonfiction book proposal (a must-have for agents and publishers)

  • Learn how to locate and query the right agents for your work and find publishing houses that prefer direct submission from authors

  • Understand today’s publishing houses and their broad array of business models

  • Understand what publishers are looking for in today’s market

  • Position yourself as an author with the platform and credibility publishers want

With insider knowledge and personalized feedback, you’ll have a clear roadmap for breaking into the traditional publishing industry.
