Publishing Guidance

A map of the road ahead.

Overview

Publishing Guidance is one-to-one advice on the road ahead for your book: the publishing routes available to you, what each requires, what each costs and what each realistically delivers.

Guidance sessions are conversational and practical: we look at your manuscript, your genre and your goals, and set out the routes realistically available to you — including the costs, timescales and trade-offs of each. You leave with a decision framework, not a sales pitch.

What this service includes

  • A review of your manuscript's stage and readiness
  • Traditional, hybrid and self-publishing routes explained
  • Rights, contracts and terminology in plain language
  • Costs and timescales for each route
  • A written summary of recommendations

How it works

  1. You share your manuscript's stage, genre and goals.

  2. We meet to walk through the publishing routes that fit your situation.

  3. You receive a written summary of options, costs and recommended next steps.

  4. Follow-up sessions are available as your decision approaches.
