Yes, the world of book publishing is changing both drastically and rapidly. I've made it part of my business to help writers become published authors. Here's what I offer:

Guidance about the:

• relative merits of today's publishing options (e.g., traditional, print-on-demand, self-publishing).
• skills and resources required for self-publishing success.
• financial commitment required to get published and keep your book in print.
• realities of marketing, sales and distribution, even for authors picked up by traditional publishers.
• process of choosing a literary agent and setting reasonable expectations for that relationship.

Consultations are typically completed in three one-hour sessions. I provide homework to help you clarify your publishing goals. By the end of our work together, you'll be equipped to choose a path to publication that makes sense.

Editorial services for nonfiction authors that include:

• Book proposals that do not skimp on the all-important competitive market analysis.
• Developmental and line editing.
• Project management for authors who opt to go the self-publishing route.

Contact me when you realize:

• having a book doctor or coach is evidence of working smart.
• creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum and working alone is creating a vacuum.
• having a professional editor will make a difference in the quality and quantity of your written output.
• you may as well divert some of the funds you’ve been spending on therapy and escapist pleasures to getting guidance and hands-on assistance.
