Supported Self-Publishing
PRE-WORK
- A Lifestyle Assessment filled out by each client upfront is specifically geared to help you clarify your skills set and existing obligations to determine when and how fast you can get your manuscript to your finished book.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how it works: Get on zoom with me for a 2-hour Coaching Intensive to do a deep dive into your book project. We'll spend thirty minutes brainstorming and discussing your book through each of these Four Stages:
STAGE ONE
Find Your “Why” and Complete your Manuscript
Define and develop your motivations and objectives to self-publish so you can set measurable goals.
Learn how to research titles in your genre, choose book models to emulate, and learn how to develop your manuscript with the help of beta readers and referrals to professional editors.
STAGE TWO
Analyze and plan what book products you will produce
Whether you print your book in black-and-white—or whether the content requires full-color printing such as art and photography—how to achieve acceptable print quality at a price you can afford is the first critical decision for a self-publisher.
... And how to position your book into the various sales channels is
just as important.
Do you want to produce an e-book? We’ll cover that too.
STAGE THREE
Publish!
Learn how to select your printer and sign contracts with final service providers. Use the specifications for your book to run the numbers through the royalty calculators provided on POD websites or to get quotes from offset litho shops.
STAGE FOUR
Book Launch & Successful Marketing
Learn how to launch your book in-person and online, then continue to work on marketing activities that will give you immediate results. Consistently add sales and marketing items from the Action Plan we create together.
