Plan to publish
You are writing a book and you think you want to publish it but it’s all unfamiliar to you.
You want to understand how publishing works so that you can make the right decisions for your book.

Are you writing nonfiction or fiction?
Are you wondering how to get your book published?
You have heard some horror stories about traps for authors laid by vanity publishers. Self-publishing your book sounds odd to you. You’d like your book published by a famous publisher but you aren’t sure how to go about it.
You have read a bit on the internet about how to publish your book but it has left you feeling more confused than before you started.
📕 What is traditional publishing?
📕 What is a hybrid publisher?
📕 What is self-publishing, exactly?
📕 Does any of this apply to your book?
Why should you worry about this now?
Uncertainty breeds inaction.
If you are not clear on your writing goal, you are less likely to finish your book.
I work with you, individually, to help you form a plan. We look at:
▶ The pros and cons for you and your book of the different routes to publication.
▶ Your main decision points, and when to make the decision.
▶ How royalties work, what advances are and how money flows in the publishing world.
The earlier you define your own publishing goals, the more motivated you will be to finish your book.
What does that mean for me and my book?
When we have a clear idea of where we need to get to, we are more likely to finish the journey.
The earlier you define your own publishing goals, the more motivated you will be to finish your book.
How does this work?
I give you tailor-made assignments and instructions.
You work on these and turn in your deadlines on a schedule.
I give you feedback in writing and, if I think it will add value, by recorded video.
We follow this up with a 1:1 coaching call by Zoom to talk things over.
For one cycle of coaching sessions and deadlines in one month so you have two full weeks to complete work, your investment starts at $USD 600.
Your next step
Your next step is to book a free call with me.
This is so you can tell me about your book and what you need.
That helps me to make sure I can add value to your project.
And we both get to see if we want to work together.
No guarantee
I’m looking forward to working with you.
But I’ve got to say: by coaching you, I can’t guarantee you will get published.
I have no connection to any agents. I receive referrals from publishing companies who recommend writers to receive book coaching but I have no direct influence on their selection process.
Guarantee
My advice is independent and based on extensive study, training and experience as a classicist at Oxford, a dual-certified book coach, a lawyer for over three decades in global firms and banks and as a writer.
I guarantee I will give you and your work all my professional skill, my encouragement and my honesty.
