Consulting

Daily, I receive e-mails requesting help in all aspects of the publishing industry. While I try to help as much as I can, I also need to provide income for our family, so I offer a few hours each month for mentoring and consultations. I keep my prices low and my schedule flexible to fit your needs.

Some of the areas I can help you with include:

Manuscripts

• Provide an overall assessment of your manuscript (pointing out your manuscript's strengths and weaknesses) or I can perform various edits, depending on your needs.
• Guide you through the process of crafting a proposal, pitch, and marketing plan.
• Work with you outlining chapters, overcoming writer's block, or chapter-by-chapter or scene-by-scene help as needed.
• I love brainstorming sessions, and will be happy to help you in this regard. There's a reason I earned the nickname "Idea Queen" from writers, friends, and even family!

Self-Publishing

• I walk you step-by-step through publishing your first book. 
• I help with formatting, marketing advice, marketability.
• I offer guidance on cover issues, including design, back cover blurb, etc.

Marketing

• Help you build a step-by-step marketing plan to promote your work. 
• Guide you through the process of social networking.
• Offer basic set-up of blogs and Facebook pages, if needed.

If you are interested in hiring me as your consultant or mentor for general knowledge
or for a specific project, send me an e-mail and we'll get started. I am available by e-mail
or by phone, whichever you prefer. I can customize a specific plan of action based on
your scheduling needs and on your budget, so let's get started today!
