NEW Package #6: Author/Publishing Coaching $50/hour

When it comes to publishing, a lot of it is “you don’t know what you don’t know.” This is an opportunity to chat in person or over Zoom about book publishing. Maybe the draft isn’t even done and you need some extra encouragement. Or maybe you’ve been published for a while and want to move the needle or meet some goals. And then…there’s marketing. Who else forgot to go to business school? We can talk about how to reach your goals with the time and resources that you have.
