Self-Publishing Assistance – Guidance from Someone Who’s Been There
Need help on your publishing journey? Confused about what to do next?
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate the process by yourself.
As an indie publisher and author who’s successfully published more than 30 fiction and nonfiction books, I know firsthand how overwhelming self-publishing can feel. From formatting and cover design to distribution and promotion, there are a lot of moving parts and even more questions.
That’s where this one-on-one publishing consultation comes in.
What You’ll Get:
This personalized session is designed to help you:
- Understand the publishing process from start to finish—no jargon, no guesswork.
- Clarify your goals and decide which publishing path fits your book best.
- Get answers to your most pressing questions about formatting, design, editing or distribution.
- Gain confidence in every decision, from ISBNs to pricing to marketing your book.
How It Works:
This service includes:
- A detailed pre-session questionnaire to identify your specific needs and challenges.
- A scheduled video chat or phone consultation (via Zoom or your preferred platform).
- Supplemental materials or resources based on your questions and goals.
Need more than one session? No problem. We can schedule additional consultations as you move through your publishing journey.
