What We Offer
Self-Publishing Coaching for Authors
Mastering the Publishing Process
Let me be the guide by your side during your publishing process!
You can read all the self-publishing blogs and take all the courses (and I encourage you to!), but I’ll boil down the need-to-know information into an easy step-by-step process you can use to create your success. I’ll show you where the pitfalls in publishing are and how to plan to avoid them, how to work around Amazon hiccups (there will always be hiccups!), and how to pivot when things don’t go as planned.
Includes a one-hour onboarding call, up to three 60-minute follow-up calls during your publishing process, ongoing email correspondence as needed* to help troubleshoot, a written book launch guide with a publishing glossary, detailed instructions, launch checklists, and more!
*If emails get excessive or it seems you will need more direct one-on-one help, you will be asked to book an additional “Pick My Brain” session so that I can best serve you.
Custom Copywriting
Book Descriptions: Setting up a strong book description can actually make or break your success, especially in online sales. Using proven and carefully honed copywriting sales techniques, I’ll make your book stand out amongst the rest to potential buyers. Requires access to your full manuscript – preferably provided on Google Docs or PDF. Your write-up and any necessary edits will be provided via Google Docs. Includes one draft and one round of edits.
Amazon Key Words and Categories Research: One of the absolute necessities to getting your book seen on Amazon is a strong metadata set-up, consisting of keywords and targeted book categories. I’ll do the research and provide you a list of recommendations, as well as directions on how to load these into your KDP account if you need those! Requires access to your full manuscript – preferably on Google Docs or PDF.
Author Bio: An enticing bio lets your readers know more about you! Schools love to see a great bio too! You’ll complete a short questionnaire and get back a 1-2 paragraph bio that you can use on your book cover, website, media outreach, etc. Provided on Google Docs. Includes one draft and one round of edits.
Can I be honest? This is where I shine – making YOU shine. I’ve launched dozens of books into best-sellers and #1 New Release categories on Amazon, and I can do this for you as well!

Developmental Editing & Manuscript Review
Developmental editing can range from feedback on age and reading level appropriateness to story arc, interest, and plot development. I’ll also tag any spelling, grammar, or typos I see for you. I provide you with a brief written questionnaire about your book so I know what you hope to accomplish, and use that to customize your manuscript feedback. I will require your full manuscript sent on Google Docs. You do not need to have illustrations at this point. If you’d like to consult on combining text with illustrations, please book a “Pick My Brain” consult below, or consider my Master the Publishing Process package above where I cover that in detail! Turnaround time on editing is generally one week.
*For Children’s Books and Non-Fiction Books only. We do not currently offer developmental editing for adult fiction books.
Lesson Plan Development
Many authors dream of getting into schools – and it’s a great way to supplement your income. Make your application to be a visiting author stand out amongst the rest with a beautifully designed multi-level and age-targeted lesson plan. Or, offer a lesson plan as an amazing opt-in freebie to get emails for your newsletter.
I am a Master’s level educator with years of curriculum development experience and will bring my professional expertise to your project. We start with a consult to establish your goals for the lesson plan and will build you a custom package from there. Requires a PDF of your book.
ADD-ON OPTION: A coloring page created from an illustration in your book, price varies by complexity.
