Engagements

The right level of support for where you are.

Every author’s publishing journey is different. We offer four levels of engagement, from a focused single session to comprehensive advisory that takes you from manuscript to published book.

Entry Point

Publishing Strategy Session

Single 90-minute call  |  $500–$750

You have a manuscript — or you’re close. You know you want to publish, but you don’t know which path is right for you. Traditional publishing? Independent? Hybrid? Each has trade-offs most authors don’t understand until they’re already committed.

The Strategy Session is a 90-minute deep-dive with a publishing strategist. Before the call, we review your manuscript (or a detailed summary). On the call, we assess your options, your goals, and your timeline — and give you an honest, specific recommendation.

What’s included:

  • ·Pre-call manuscript or summary review
  • ·90-minute video call with a publishing strategist
  • ·Recorded session (yours to keep)
  • ·Written summary with specific recommendations
  • ·2 weeks of email follow-up for questions

Best for:

Authors with a completed or near-complete manuscript who need clarity on their publishing path before investing time and money.

Core Program

Manuscript-to-Market Advisory

3–4 months  |  $5,000–$8,000

You’ve decided to publish. Now you need a strategic partner who can guide you through the entire process — not just tell you what to do, but help you do it. The Advisory program is hands-on, sustained support from a publishing strategist who stays with you from manuscript assessment through launch planning.

We don’t just advise — we work alongside you. When you need an editor, we help you find and vet the right one. When a contract lands on your desk, we help you understand every clause. When it’s time to plan your launch, we build the strategy together.

What’s included:

  • ·Full publishing path assessment and recommendation
  • ·Manuscript readiness evaluation
  • ·Query letter and book proposal development (if pursuing traditional publishing)
  • ·Agent research and submission strategy
  • ·Production vendor selection and management (if pursuing independent publishing)
  • ·Contract review and negotiation guidance
  • ·Marketing and launch strategy development
  • ·Bi-weekly 45-minute strategy calls
  • ·Unlimited email support between calls

Best for:

Authors who want a strategic partner for the full journey from finished manuscript to published book. Particularly valuable for first-time authors navigating an unfamiliar industry.

Premium

Executive Book Program

4–6 months  |  $10,000–$15,000

For C-suite executives, founders, and thought leaders, a book isn’t just a publication — it’s a business asset. It positions you as the authority in your space. It opens speaking engagements, media opportunities, and client conversations that didn’t exist before. But only if it’s done right.

The Executive Book Program is our most comprehensive engagement. We manage the strategic layer of your entire book project, from positioning and content development through publication and promotion. You focus on your ideas and your business. We make sure the book serves both.

What’s included:

  • ·Everything in the Advisory program, plus:
  • ·Positioning strategy: how your book serves your brand, your business, and your audience
  • ·Ghostwriter or co-author selection, vetting, and management
  • ·Content strategy and chapter-level guidance
  • ·Media and speaking strategy tied to book launch
  • ·Publisher and agent introductions (where appropriate)
  • ·Ongoing advisory through publication and the first 90 days post-launch
  • ·Weekly calls during active phases

Best for:

Senior executives, founders, and public figures who need a strategic partner managing the entire publishing process while they focus on running their business.

Focused Sprint

Launch Strategy Sprint

6 weeks  |  $3,000–$5,000

Your book is done. It’s edited, designed, and ready to print. But you don’t have a plan for what happens when it’s published. Most authors wing their launch — and most books disappear within 90 days.

The Launch Strategy Sprint is a 6-week intensive focused exclusively on your go-to-market plan. We build a complete launch strategy tailored to your book, your audience, and your goals — then we support you through execution.

What’s included:

  • ·Pre-order strategy and timeline
  • ·Metadata optimisation (title, subtitle, description, categories, keywords)
  • ·Review copy distribution plan (who to send to, when, and how to follow up)
  • ·Social media and email launch framework
  • ·Bookstore and library outreach strategy
  • ·Speaking and media pitch templates
  • ·First 90 days post-publication roadmap with weekly milestones
  • ·3 strategy calls during the sprint plus email support

Best for:

Authors with a completed, production-ready book who need a structured launch plan. Works for both traditionally published authors who want to supplement their publisher’s efforts and independently published authors building their own launch.
