AUTHOR · PREPARATION

What to prepare before a publishing consultation

Bring your manuscript status, preferred formats, book details, goals and the services you already have covered.

PRODUCTION · DESIGN

Why the book's visual system matters

Cover, typography, interior rhythm and edition choices should work together to create a coherent reading experience.

MARKETING · DISCOVERY

Why visibility starts before launch

Positioning, presentation, metadata, promotional assets and reader discovery all contribute to a stronger launch foundation.

DISTRIBUTION · FORMATS

Choosing formats without overcomplicating the plan

Print, digital and audio each have different production requirements. Start with the formats that fit your audience and goals.
