About My Book

Book a Client Call

After your book proposal is accepted, let’s chat about what you want from your book. (This can be via phone, Zoom, snail mail, or carrier pigeon*).

We’ll discuss your proposal, your goals, and what we can offer your project. You’ll get to ask any burning questions you have, and by the end of the call, we’ll know if we’re the right fit for each other. A tailored quote is provided for your project and we discuss your contract.

*We’re joking about the bugs and birds!

The Strategy Session

You’re invested in this book, so we’re going to make sure it fills your heart with joy and pride. In this phase, the book design process begins. We’ll select design options and features, marketing elements, printing and distribution.

We’ll set a timeline, and discuss other team members or external contractors your project might require. We’ll also chat about expectations, author basics like marketing, branding, distribution, and sales, and generally get the ball rolling on your project.

Sound scary? Don’t worry, we’ll educate you along the way!
