If you want to create a children’s picture book that looks just as good as the ones published by a traditional publishing house, I can help you do that with my Self-Publishing Start-To-Finish package.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to self-publish, your desire to create and publish a book may be stronger than your desire—or capacity—to handle all of the logistics of production and all the nuances of self-editing your manuscript.

I’ll take on the twin roles of editor and project manager, where I’ll help you to develop an amazing manuscript, and then I’ll manage the many moving pieces required to produce a book that looks and feels like it was produced by the pros.

Working together to self-publish your book happens in two phases.

First is the development phase.

The goal in this phase is a fabulous manuscript. I’ll help you with the conceptualizing, the developmental editing, and the line editing. I’ll give you feedback, direction and advice that can help you make your story stronger, more cohesive, and more marketable.

I’ll help you with the conceptualizing, the developmental editing, and the line editing. And we’ll do this together until you have a manuscript that’s the best manuscript you are capable of producing – and one that can be proud of - because it reflects who you are and what you want to say.

Next comes the production phase.

There are many people involved in creating and publishing a children’s picture book. Many of them are invisible, such as art directors and print managers. I know them, and I know how to work with them as well. There are countless little details involved in the publishing process. As your project manager, I’ll help coordinate those things, too.

If you’d like to save your time, energy and your sanity while maximizing the odds that your self-publishing project will reach the finish line, then I would be happy to discuss how we can work together.
