Services for Authors

Authors I've helped publish:

Author Websites

Let's get you online with an author website that's affordable, professional, optimized and easy for you to manage. No recurring developer hosting or management fees. Like a home builder, I build it and then turn the keys over to you. You'll own your website and all associated accounts; I'm here to help with anything beyond your time constraints or knowledge limitations if you need me. Contact me today to discuss the easy and affordable process. For authors interested in the DIY website option I've been developing "Design, Build and Manage Your Own Website" workshops since 2012. With the right knowledge, tools, products and guidance, anyone can design and build an affordable, professional and optimized site on one of today's best DIY platforms. Contact me about this excellent, cost-effective and fun option.

Publishing

If you or someone you know is serious about publishing a book and needs guidance or assistance in any of the various stages of development and/or submissions, contact me today. As an acquisitions editor for Koehler Books publishing house, specializing in traditional-, independent- and hybrid-publishing service models and individual author services, I'm happy to offer options, direction, authentic feedback and encouragement. I highly recommend the new "Pocket Guide to Publishing" by Koehler and Coccaro; it's is well worth the read for any experienced or aspiring author.
Writers with a manuscript to submit may do so through me or through the Koehler Books website's submissions page with mention of my name so it'll be directed to my desk. Either way, be sure your manuscript is complete and polished, and include the four related items listed on the Koehler Books submissions page.

Public/Media Relations

Press releases, media outreach and more. Or contact me about insightful presentations and instructional workshops for you or your writers group or conference.

Instruction

Live and online instruction for authors includes my Build and Author Website course and publicity and media relations presentations and workshops! Contact me for details and to reserve a spot!
