Advertising
I can coach you through the basics of advertising from Facebook and Instagram ads as well as promotion platforms such as BookBub, Written Word Media and others. If you don't have the time or the inclination to do it yourself, I can set the advertisements up for you with a budget that works for you.
Price: Please contact me to discuss your needs.

Blurb Writing
Turn a pass into a one click buy by putting your best foot forward! You want your blurb to be strong and suck the reader in. I can write a blurb from scratch or punch up one you already have.
Price: New blurbs-$120, Blurb rework-$75

Story Development
Not sure if your story idea is strong enough to carry a full length book? Need to run ideas by an author who has been there? Need help coming up with plot points or ways to fix your plot holes? I can help. It can be a one time consult or multiple consults as the story progresses.

Have you finished your book, but don't know if it is ready for publishing? I can help with pacing, plot, and sentence structure to make your story the best that it can be.

Self Publishing Coaching
Are you a new author or a traditionally published author dipping your toes into the self publishing world but don't know where to start? I can help navigate this sometimes daunting world. It can be a steep learning curve, but so very rewarding. Learn to do it yourself, from formatting, platform selection, platform uploading, newsletter setup, ISBNs, and more for both ebooks and print.
