One-on-One Self-Publishing Consulting
Expert Guidance. Clear Answers. No Upselling.
Self-publishing a book involves dozens of decisions — platforms, vendors, pricing, distribution, marketing, and contracts. The wrong choice can cost far more than it saves.
For $199 per hour, you get direct, independent guidance from someone with 33+ years of real-world self-publishing experience — not automated advice or vendor-driven recommendations.
What This Consulting Is (and Isn’t)
This is:
- Straight answers to specific publishing questions
- Help evaluating services, contracts, and platforms
- Guidance tailored to your book, goals, and budget
- Independent advice — no commissions, no kickbacks
This is not:
- A generic coaching program
- A sales pitch for publishing services
- A long-term commitment
- A one-size-fits-all roadmap
You pay only for the time you need.
How Authors Use These Sessions
Authors typically book a session to get help with:
- Choosing between self-publishing options
- Evaluating a publishing company or service provider
- Understanding Amazon KDP vs. alternatives
- Reviewing a contract before signing
- Pricing and distribution decisions
- Avoiding common (and expensive) mistakes
- Getting unstuck or second-guessing a decision
If you have specific questions, this format works extremely well.
Why $199 an Hour Makes Sense
Many authors lose hundreds or thousands of dollars by:
- Signing the wrong contract
- Choosing the wrong service provider
- Paying for unnecessary add-ons
- Making irreversible publishing decisions
One focused hour of consulting can prevent mistakes that cost far more than the session itself.
What to Expect
- One-on-one private consulting
- Practical, plain-English explanations
- Honest pros and cons — not sales talk
- Focused on your questions, not a script
Sessions are efficient, respectful of your time, and grounded in experience — not theory.
Who This Is Best For
- First-time self-publishers
- Authors evaluating paid services
- Writers feeling overwhelmed or uncertain
- Anyone who wants a second opinion before committing
