Your book is written. Now what?

Publishing Coaching

Whether you're ready to hit publish or still unsure which path to take, I’ll help you navigate the entire publishing process. Let’s ensure that your book is professionally presented and set up for success.

Publishing isn’t just about pressing “upload.” It’s about making the right decisions at the right time, avoiding costly mistakes, and creating a finished product you can be proud of. My publishing coaching gives you the clarity, tools, and support you need to bring your book to life.

What You’ll Get:

  • Help deciding between traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing

  • Step-by-step guidance on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other platforms

  • Feedback on cover designs and introductions to trusted designers

  • Advice on interior layout options (DIY or pro)

  • Support with ISBNs, copyright registration, and book metadata

  • A pre-publication review to catch layout issues, licensing concerns, and formatting errors

  • Clear answers to all your "what now?" questions—no overwhelm, no guesswork

This is for you if:

  • You’ve finished (or nearly finished) your manuscript and feel lost on next steps

  • You want to self-publish but aren’t sure where to start

  • You’ve already published once but want a smoother process this time

  • You’re ready to take your book seriously and do it right

You can work with me in two ways, whether you need a one-time strategy session or full support as you publish your book.

One-Time Publishing Strategy Session

A focused, 60-minute call to get your publishing questions answered and your plan in place.
This session is perfect for authors who want to self-publish confidently but don’t know what steps to take or want a professional to review what they’ve already done.

Clients use this session for:

  • Deciding between publishing options

  • Getting set up on Amazon, IngramSpark, or other platforms

  • Learning how to secure ISBNs and register copyrights

  • Getting feedback on cover and layout design

  • Understanding distribution and pricing options

  • Preparing for launch with a simple checklist

You’ll walk away with a clear action plan and the confidence to move forward without second-guessing every step.
