Paid Author Consulting

Hire Me!

I happily throw up all this education content for free, and I hope it is all the help you need. But you may find yourself with a question or two. If that's the case, just shoot me a message and I will be happy to answer you. But you may have a LOT of questions. And let's be real, swapping emails back and forth may not be the most efficient method of getting you the help you need. So for folks like that, your solution is to track me down at a convention and buy me a beer, or....hire me!

My Rate!

I charge 50 dollars an hour, with a two hour minimum. They don't have to be consecutive hours, or even held in hours. We can do 30 minute a week check ins if you like, or hit all two hours at once. And you can of course book more than two hours. Book an hour a quarter, and I will give you advice over the long term! Please note that unless you are really local to me (Montgomery), these meetings will be held virtually.

You can also pay me 50 bucks to review the first ten pages of your book. This is really geared more towards folks who want to be traditionally published. Basically, I won't fix your grammar, but I will tell you what works, what doesn't, and how you can make it better. This is a service I do a lot through some of the workshops that I teach, and I have done a lot of them. I'll read it over, make lots of notes, then we'll jump on a zoom call or the like, and we'll go over all my notes over the course of 45 minutes to an hour.

What I Am Good At Helping With:

The areas I am strongest on, and would be helpful with are:

Brainstorming/Worldbuilding.
Branding.
Organic Marketing.
Elevator pitches.
In person sales.
Business strategy.
Setting up your 'infrastructure.'

What I Am Not Good At Helping With:

If you have a strong need for any of the following, you would likely be better off getting help elsewhere:

Paid ads, such as facebook or amazon.
Specific business/tax stuff. Go hit up your local Small Business Administration Office (its free).

"But I Need Help With Something You Didn't List?!"

Then ask! I will honestly answer you if I think I would be able to assist you with the needed topic.
