Consultation FAQ
Questions authors ask about the consultation.
Still unsure? A specialist will answer anything on a free call.
A self-publishing consultant helps you plan how to publish: which services your book needs, which platforms to use, what it will take and how long. You stay the publisher, in your own name and accounts.
Yes. The call and the written plan are free, and there is no obligation to work with us afterwards.
No. Many authors come to us with only an idea or a partial draft. We plan around where your book is today.
Nothing formal. It helps to know roughly what your book is about, who it is for and when you would like it published.
Yes. We can review your cover, description and listings and tell you honestly what is worth improving.
With us your book is published in your own name and accounts, you keep your rights, and the stores pay your royalties directly to you. You pay only for the services you choose, agreed in writing first.
