Book Publishing Consulting

I have been immersed in the publishing, marketing, and graphic communication fields for decades. I can not only write or edit your manuscript, but I also can refer you to the publishing, printing, and marketing resources that meet your needs.

Let me help position your book for success. (This is free to my ghostwriting and coaching clients.)

Publishing your book involves many moving pieces. Here’s how I can help:

  • Why do you want to write a book? This is always the first question I ask aspiring authors. Good answers include building your brand, enhancing your reputation, or increasing paid speaking or consulting engagements. Becoming a bestselling author is possible, of course, but it’s seldom the main reason to do it.

  • Platform development. Having a robust public presence is a prerequisite for any author. I can help you find good resources for that.

  • Picking the right publisher. Traditional publishers require a strong book proposal, which I can write if there’s a good chance of success. Hybrid publishers or self publishing services are often better alternatives. I can help you find the one that meet your needs.

  • Publicity. Once the manuscript is finished, an author’s job has only just begun. (Sorry about that.) I can help you find some excellent book publicity firms.
