Strategic Publishing Diagnosis
Before you invest thousands in publishing, invest ninety minutes in knowing exactly what you're building and whether now is the right time to build it.
Most publishing mistakes don't happen at the design stage or the editing stage. They happen earlier — when someone moves forward without clarity on what the book is actually for.
Structure gets built before positioning is settled. Editing gets paid for before the developmental work is done. Books go live before the strategy is clear. And once it's live, you can't quietly fix it.
This diagnosis exists to prevent that. It's a focused, professional assessment of your book and your publishing strategy — not a sales call, not a brainstorm. You'll leave with clear conclusions and a written next step, regardless of whether that step involves working with me.
What’s included:
Structural Assessment: Is the book sound? Where are the gaps?
Editorial Recommendation: Developmental, line, copy, or co-creation — and in what sequence.
Publishing Pathway: Self-publishing, hybrid, or traditional – what actually fits your goals.
Written Decision Map: Clear conclusions and next steps. Delivered within 5 business days.
