Good collaboration depends on shared understanding. Our four-step approach keeps the work purposeful and expectations clear.
Understand the author, the book, the audience, and what you want to achieve.
We discuss your book, intended readership, publishing stage, available resources, and priorities. Bring a synopsis or a short explanation of the project; there is no need to send a full manuscript at first contact.
Review your book’s presentation, publishing readiness, and opportunities.
Depending on the proposed engagement, we examine manuscript readiness, retailer presentation, author materials, or existing promotional activity. We identify where attention may be most useful.
Develop a considered publishing or publicity plan suited to your objectives.
You receive a tailored proposed scope with deliverables, responsibilities, timing, fees, and review stages. Third-party services and costs are identified separately. Work starts after the scope is agreed.
Deliver the agreed services, review progress, and identify the next useful steps.
We complete the agreed work, share progress at defined points, and gather your feedback. At the review stage, we distinguish completed activity from observed results and recommend sensible next steps.
A thoughtful conversation. A considered next step.
