I work with authors who have a clear message, lived experience, expertise, or story they want to share, but don’t have the time, structure, or clarity to navigate the publishing process alone. My clients are often professionals, business owners, coaches, educators, creatives, and thought leaders who want their book done properly, with integrity and intention.

No. You can come to me with:

• A full manuscript

• A partially written draft

• Or just an idea

I support clients from idea stage right through to a finished, published book. Where you start simply determines how we structure our work together.

I work with all genres, including children’s books, memoirs, fiction, business books, personal development and creative passion projects.

Hybrid publishing sits between traditional and self-publishing.

You:

• Retain creative control and rights

• Invest in professional guidance and production

• Receive transparency, education, and support

I do not operate as a vanity press. My role is to guide, educate, project manage, and mentor you through a professional publishing process—while empowering you to understand every step.

You can self-publish alone, but many authors find it overwhelming, confusing, and expensive when done without guidance.

Working with me means:

• You don’t guess or Google your way through publishing

• You avoid common (and costly) mistakes

• You have a clear roadmap and experienced oversight

• You gain publishing knowledge you can reuse in the future

You’re supported—but not disempowered.

Traditional publishing:

• Is highly competitive

• Often takes years

• Requires agents, querying, and acceptance

• Offers limited creative control

Hybrid publishing offers:

• A clearer timeline

• Creative control

• Transparency

• Education

• Faster pathways to market

It’s ideal for authors who want impact, authority, or alignment—not just a lottery-style acceptance process.

No—and anyone who does should be questioned.

What I do provide:

• Strategic guidance

• Professional publishing pathways

• Marketing and positioning support

• Education on how sales actually work

Sales depend on many factors including audience, positioning, distribution, and ongoing effort.

My packages focus on book coaching, strategy, structure, publishing guidance, and project oversight.

Professional editing, cover design, illustration, formatting, printing, ISBNs, and marketing execution are typically handled by specialist contractors and are additional costs. I can help you source, brief, and manage the right professionals if required.

You do.

You retain:

• Copyright

• Creative rights

• Distribution rights

Your book is always your intellectual property.

Yes. This is one of my key strengths.

I help authors:

• Position their book as authority

• Create aligned offers (programs, services, workshops, speaking)

• Use their book as a foundation for impact and income

Your book doesn’t have to be the end—it can be the beginning.

Absolutely. Many of my clients are first-time authors.

My role is to:

• Simplify the process

• Remove overwhelm

• Build confidence

• Educate you as we go

You don’t need to “know how” before you begin.

Timeframes vary depending on:

• The state of your manuscript

• The type of book

• The level of support required

As a general guide:

• Writing + development: 3–6 months

• Publishing + production: 2–4 months

We always create a realistic, personalised timeline.

Depending on the package, this may include:

• Strategy and clarity sessions

• Book structure and development

• Writing guidance and accountability

• Publishing education and planning

• Project oversight and support

• Optional business and brand integration

All work is designed to be intentional, clear, and sustainable—for both of us.

Possibly—but only if quality and integrity still matter to you.

I don’t rush books for the sake of speed alone. I support authors who want a book they’re proud of, one that reflects their voice, values, and message.

The best place to start is a conversation.

If you value:

• Transparency

• Integrity

• Clarity

• Professional guidance

• A calm, grounded approach

Then we’re likely aligned.

Book to Business is the process of intentionally using your book as a foundation for a business, brand, or body of work—rather than seeing the book as a standalone product.

Instead of asking, “How many copies will this sell?”, Book to Business asks:

• How does this book position me?

• What does it open the door to?

• How can it create long-term impact and income?

Book to Business is ideal for:

• Coaches, consultants, practitioners, and educators

• Business owners and professionals

• Thought leaders and speakers

• Experts with lived experience or a clear message

It’s especially powerful for people who don’t want to rely on book sales alone to measure success.

A book can become the foundation for:

• Coaching or mentoring programs

• Workshops and retreats

• Speaking opportunities

• Online programs or courses

• Professional services or consulting

• Brand authority and media opportunities

Your book becomes a trust-builder, not just a product.

No.

Some clients come with an existing business and want their book to strengthen it. Others start with a book and build aligned offers afterward.

Both pathways are supported.

Marketing a book focuses on selling copies. Book to Business focuses on positioning, authority, and alignment.

It’s about:

• Clarifying who the book is really for

• Aligning the message with your values and expertise

• Creating offers that feel natural—not forced

• Designing a pathway from reader to client, participant, or audience

Sales become a by-product, not the pressure point.

Book to Business can be included or added, depending on the package.

It may involve:

• Clarifying your message and audience

• Structuring the book with business outcomes in mind

• Identifying aligned offers and pathways

• Supporting the transition from book to brand or service

This work is strategic and personalised—not templated.

No. I don’t impose a business model.

My role is to:

• Help you see what’s possible

• Reflect your strengths, experience, and values

• Guide you to create something sustainable and aligned

Your book should support your life—not consume it.

No.

Some books are about legacy, healing, awareness, or contribution. Book to Business is an option, not an obligation.

We only build what feels right for you.

Yes. You keep all royalties and retain full ownership of your book, files, accounts and publishing platforms.

Yes. Through book coaching, I help you clarify your idea, create your structure and build confidence so you can finally begin writing.

Yes. I work with trusted, professional editors and connect you with the right one based on your voice and genre.

Yes. I work with illustrators in multiple styles and can match you with the perfect fit for your children’s book.

Yes. I support local printing through IngramSpark's print-on-demand service, that cater to both small and large print runs. If you would like different specifications to what IngramSpark supplies, I have contacts with overseas printers as well. However, this is a much more lengthy process.

Absolutely. Your book can be created into an eBook for distribution.

My mentoring helps creatives and entrepreneurs with branding, messaging, PR, visibility, marketing strategy, speaking preparation and aligned business growth.

Yes. I can support you with everything you need to be able to get the change to experience school visits (depending on topic/book), podcast interviews, and speaking engagements.

Sessions are held on Zoom and can be recorded. Depending on your package with me, our sessions with be fortnightly or monthly depending on your goals and timeline.

Yes. I support all authors, creatives and business owners.
