How I Help

As a 15 year publishing industry veteran, my mission is to help you turn your idea into a published book. I specialize in helping independent authors publish their books and bestseller book launch strategy. If you have the book, let’s get it out there.

My Comprehensive Independent Publishing Package

Yes, you can make your book a reality and publish it on your terms. But if you don’t have much experience with the publishing industry, it’s easy to get sidetracked or mired in the details. Think of me as your publishing guide — both a coach and a project manager — who keeps things moving, on-track, and brings deep industry experience so you will always know your options and make informed decisions.

All of my publishing packages include my Amazon bestseller strategy because Amazon is, in my opinion, the most important book-selling platform in the world — especially for independent and self-publishers. Yet somehow, most people who publish books have no idea how Amazon works or how to position their book there for success! My Amazon bestseller system positions your book for short, medium, and long-term success, and gives you the best possible chance at having a #1 bestselling launch.

Here’s how I help:

  • Start to Finish timeline that empowers you to finish and publish your book on your timeline

  • Candid & honest guidance that will save you thousands of dollars and months of time. I hate seeing authors with a message get sidetracked or swindled. I will always give you straight answers, and I frequently save authors from nasty scams or wasting lots of time and money doing the wrong things.

  • Connections to vetted, professional editors & designers who I know and work with. I have a small team of people I recommend and a much longer list of people I do not!

  • Full creative control of your book and your manuscript. You keep all rights, copyright, and royalties — in fact I’ll help you do it. My job is to make your vision happen.

  • Print-on-demand flexibility and cost savings for hardcover & paperback. It’s amazing what technology allows us to do now, and “print on demand” or “POD” is a huge advantage for independent/self publishers. In essence, rather than printing hundreds or thousands of copies you have to keep in your garage, now you can just print copies (in hardcover or paperback) when someone orders them. You earn a royalty every time someone buys a book, and you have no stock sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

What’s Included?

  • Custom book production timeline to help you organize and plan everything (Typically 6-12 month engagement)

  • Monthly one-on-one meetings, plus ongoing email support in between

  • My tried & true #1 Amazon bestseller strategy, (including personalized categories + keywords + related metadata)

  • Access to all of my book launch email templates & swipe files for recruiting + building your launch team

  • Custom optimized book description for your book sales written just for your book

  • Set up & management of your publishing account on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)

  • Management of all publishing files, from start to finish

  • Registration of official ISBN numbers for your book so that you have full creative control and ownership forever

  • Guidance on inbound book launch tactics and tools, including email marketing around the book launch, social media strategies and tactics, and related network or Word Of Mouth (WOM) tactics

  • Yes, I can help you publish a Hardcover, Paperback, and a Kindle ebook

  • Yes, I can connect you to my inner circle of vetted and experienced Editors & Proofreaders

  • Yes, I can connect you to my favorite Book Designer, whose covers and interior book designs have won many awards and appeared on NYT and WSJ bestsellers

I’m often told that my guidance and services save authors months of work and many thousands of dollars, which makes me very happy. This package is indeed ideal for coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, or any self-driven and independent creator who wants to get their book out into the world, and doesn’t have the luxury of learning an entirely new skill. Let’s make it happen.
