Far too many authors find out too late that they have an expensive hobby, not a business. In some cases they have discovered that each book they sell is at a loss!  But it need not be that way!   With the right strategy, and some good information advice, you can build a successful business around your book. You can tap into the knowledge of a former Publisher of the Year with 24 years of international publishing experience.

We start with a fact find and a digital audit to see what visibility you have in the marketplace. This is followed by four, one-to one mentoring sessions on zoom.  The cost of the fact find is £50 and each zoom session is £25, a total of £150.

Many authors have quickly earned this in vestment back almost immediately, plus a lot more. Turn your book into a business and unlock the profits that are rightfully yours.

“Where both the author and the publisher play to their individual strengths, they can achieve far more by working together than they can working on their own.”
