There are several ways in which I would love to support you!
Coaching
The best way to have a successful journey is to go with a guide. Let me be YOUR guide on your journey to becoming a successful author or creator.
I will help you with the mechanics of taking a book from an idea into a physical product and support you in your mindset so you can follow through with your intentions and become the author and creator you were meant to be.
Coaching services include:
- A weekly call to discuss goals and work through obstacles
- Unlimited text access throughout the rest of the week
This is a 6-month program to take you from where you are to where you want to be. You will take at least one children’s book from conception to publication and get your first sales in this timeframe.
I do not have a set step-by-step, paced program to follow. Everything is customized to YOUR needs and YOUR book.
Coaching program:
- $2,000 if paid in full (works out to $333 per month)
- $2,400 if paid in monthly installments of $400 per month for 6 months
Fill out the form below for a free 15-minute vision call to determine if you’re a good fit for this program.
Editing
Whether your work needs a complete overhaul or just some light final polishes, I can help with those edits to ensure your book is ready to be published.
I offer two types of editing services:
Line Editing
Line editing focuses on style and ensures the plot, characters, and setting all blend and flow well together. This involves a lot of time and back-and-forth between you and me to get everything right.
Line editing cost: 10 cents per word.
Copy Editing
Copy editing fixes all of the litter grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes that we all make along the way. This is done at the end of the writing and line editing processes to ensure there’s nothing wrong with the book before it’s published.
Copy editing cost: 5 cents per word.
If your work is in need of both line editing and copy editing, I charge 12 cents per word. Fill out the form below to start working with me to have your work edited to perfection.
Illustrations
When writing picture books, the illustrations can make or break the book. Would we love Dr. Seuss nearly as much without the unique and interesting characters his books contain? I don’t think so!
Let me work with you to create a stunning visual representation of each page that captures the hearts and imaginations of your audience.
Illustrations cost:
- $10 per page for simple black-and-white sketches
- $25 per page for full color
- $50 for covers (front and back)
This also includes word placement and I can help you with the book layout as part of the cost.
Just fill out the form to let me know what you’re looking for!
Marketing
Once you’ve completed your book, it’s time to start marketing! No matter what your budget is, I can support you in marketing your book for you.
Strategies and ideas for marketing your book are included in my coaching services since my goal is for this to be an investment for you that you get an amazing return on.
Here are a few options to give you an estimate of what my marketing services may cost you. Some may not have a definite cost because each book is marketed differently.
Email List Build
I’m starting here because building an email list is going to be the best way you can market your book now and any books you create in the future. Since you own your own email list, you don’t have to worry about it being shut down like you do with social media profiles.
There are a number of ways to build an email list, but I prefer the method I paid a lot of money to learn. The one who developed and now teaches it grew their list to over 800,000 people by using it, so it works!
This method will require you to get in front of a camera and connect with other people in your space, and, while you’re at it, your audience.
The cost will vary depending on how big of an email list build you want to do and how involved you want me to be. Please fill out the contact form to discuss putting together a custom package for you.
Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing involves reaching out to influencers who are already speaking to your ideal audience and having them share your book with the audience that they’ve already built.
This service involves me researching ideal influencers for your book, contacting them on your behalf, and sending out a copy of your book to them for you.
Cost: $3 per connection made
Social Media Marketing
This is ideal if you already have an existing audience. I can support you in planning a campaign and creating the social media images for it.
Campaign planning costs $300 per planned month and includes ideas for 3 social media posts per day.
Social media images cost $2 per image if following a plan (mine or yours!) or $5 if I’m creating them from scratch.
Customized Marketing Plan
If you want to use any combination of these and want different levels of involvement, please contact me with the form below for a free 15-minute vision call.
I would love to support you in coming up with a marketing plan that works for you which you can follow yourself, do everything for you, or do something in between.
