FROM WRITER TO AUTHOR
I have over ten years of professional writing and self-publishing experience. After self-publishing five books--fiction, non-fiction, and journals, I've learned what it takes to go from a blank page to a published book.
As a new writer, some of the questions running through your mind might be:
Where and how do I start?
What is the difference between self-publishing/traditional publishing?
How do I write a blurb?
How do I create book covers?
How do I format my book?
How do I market my book and myself?
How do I pitch to bookstores?
How do I pitch to bloggers?
How do I pitch to other writers?
How do I collaborate with other writers?
What is the best writing software?
Do I need to start a publishing company?
Do I need to incorporate?
Do I need insurance?
How much is publishing my book going to cost?
Are the steps different for fiction and non-fiction publishing?
These are just some of the questions that new writers struggle with. If this sounds like you, then you're in the right place.
When you book with me, I will take you through a step by step consultation so that you can get your writing and book off the ground.
In each consultation, we will discuss the topics listed below, plus you will receive PDF's to make your note-taking strategy easier. The printables are jammed packed with resources that will help you reach your writing and publishing goals.
