Author Coaching & Publishing Support
You wrote the book. Now comes the harder question: what do you do with it?
Self-publish, go hybrid, pursue traditional, or find an indie press — every path has real trade-offs, and the right one depends on your goals, your book, and your season of life. I help authors think through that decision with clear eyes, then walk with them through whatever path they choose.
Author Coaching & Route Discernment
Not sure which direction is right for you? We'll talk through your goals for the book — creative, financial, and personal — and weigh your options honestly: what self-publishing, hybrid, traditional, and indie presses each actually offer, and what each one costs you in time, money, and control. You'll leave with a clear-eyed picture of the path that fits, not just the path that's trendy.
Coaching can also support you further upstream — working through your manuscript, your author platform, or the mindset shifts that come with putting your work into the world.
Self-Publishing Support
Cover Design — $300.
A cover that makes people stop scrolling and pick up your book. You'll get a consultation to talk about vision, 2–3 concepts to choose from, two rounds of revisions, and final files ready for publication. You can check out my portfolio here.
Paperback & eBook Formatting — $350.
Clean, professional formatting for print and digital — interior layout, chapter styling, front and back matter, all delivered publication-ready so your book looks like it came from a real publishing house. Because it did.
Publishing Consultation — $60/hour.
One-on-one guidance through the parts that trip people up: choosing platforms, setting up accounts, ISBNs, metadata that actually helps readers find your book, troubleshooting, and a final quality check before you hit publish. Available by Zoom or in person in the Columbus, Ohio area.
