Consulting
“Publishing a book is like stuffing a note into a bottle and hurling it into the sea. Some bottles drown, some come safe to land, where the notes are read and then possibly cherished…You never know who your readers might be.” - Margaret Atwood
Publishing is a famously labyrinthine business. You’ve done your work as a writer, but what’s next? We can help you chart your course as you bring your writing into the world, making you aware of your options. We can help you answer important questions such as:Is my book ready to send out?
Should I self-publish?
Do I need an agent?
How do I submit to agents?
How do I get my self-published book into bookstores?
Where do I start with book promotion services?
How do I publicize my book?
Do I need someone to help with author social media?
How do I organize a book tour?
How can I set up bookstore events?
What’s my author brand?
We can talk you through the answers to these questions and point you in the right direction.
