Step 1: Consultation
Scheduling a consult is the first step in understanding how to publish your book and exploring the publishing services best suited to your goals. When you book your consultation, you’ll be paired with a dedicated Publishing Services Consultant—a professional who will learn about your manuscript and your vision as an author.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
During this initial conversation, your consultant will walk you through the book publishing process, explain available formats and timelines, and answer any questions you may have about editing, design, promotion, distribution, and other services. They will also help you compare different publishing plans and recommend the option that best aligns with your vision.
