Publishing a book involves many processes and many decisions. A one-hour consultation will help you avoid scams and pitfalls, pressure-test your expectations for success and help you find a balance between doing it yourself and hiring subcontractors without compromising the quality of your finished book.

An MFA university design and writing instructor, I am available to offer critiques of cover art, typesetting and editing.

Corporations and academic institutions realize many benefits from forming their own publishing divisions. I provide technical, design and marketing guidance for setting up in-house publishing divisions.

Rates are $100 per hour, but feel free to call and chat about your project. I won’t charge you anything unless you decide I have something of value to offer you. Initial consulting charges are waived for authors and publishers who contract design, marketing or editing services.
