Need Help With Your Book?

Publishing Made Simple with Expert Guidance
Writing a great book is only half the journey to success in self-publishing. These days, authors must also navigate the complexities of cover design, blurb writing, marketing, advertising, and countless other tasks. It can feel overwhelming, especially when you aren’t even sure what it is you don’t know!
That’s when you need to ask for help.
Don’t let the book you’ve worked on for months, or even years, suffer because you aren’t an expert in all things publishing and marketing. Let us help.
Our one-on-one consulting and mentorship services offer the personalized guidance you need.
We’ll sit down with you through a Google Meeting and help you tackle your unique challenges with practical advice, actionable next steps, and proven strategies. Whether you have something simple that can be tackled in just an hour, or need on-going mentorship, we’re here to alleviate your stress and remove the unknowns around publishing that are often the biggest cause of stress.

Who Is This For?

Whether you're a new author seeking direction or an experienced writer aiming to enhance your publishing strategy, our services offer valuable insights and support.

How You Benefit

  • Personalized Guidance: Receive advice tailored to your unique needs and objectives.
  • Flexible Support: Whether you just need to meet with us for an hour or two, or want more of an ongoing mentorship for continuous development, we’ll work at your pace and on your schedule.

How Does It Work?

  • Fill out the order form with as much detail about what it is you’re looking for help on as possible. Feel free to include links to your books or anything else that may be relevant.
  • Select whether or not you want to book a single call or start a set of on-going calls
  • Schedule an available date and time on the calendar for your discussion (for the mentorship sessions, this would be for your first call)
  • Calls will be recorded (unless you request otherwise) and you will have access to the recording so you can reference it later (saves having to take notes!)
  • For single calls, you will receive a follow up email check-in following the call to answer any questions or concerns. For ongoing calls, you will have access to us between calls for quick questions or concerns.

How Much Does It Cost?

  • Single call consults are $200 per hour.
  • On-going mentorship calls must be booked for a minimum of 3 hours and will be billed at $150 per hour up to the first 6 hours of calls. After the 6th call, if you still require more, subsequent calls will drop to $125 per hour.
