Get Clear Direction for Your Book
Many writers finish a manuscript and feel stuck.
Should you query literary agents? Submit to small presses? Revise the manuscript again? Self-publish? Improve your query letter? Wait and keep editing?
The Publishing Roadmap Consultation is designed to help writers answer those questions.
This service combines full manuscript review, query letter feedback, and a personal Zoom consultation so you can better understand your book’s strengths, weaknesses, market positioning, and publishing options.
Instead of vague advice, you’ll receive focused feedback based on your manuscript, your goals, and the realities of today’s publishing landscape.
What’s Included
For $49, your consultation includes:
- Review of your full manuscript
- Review of your query letter
- Feedback on your book’s hook, structure, genre fit, and market positioning
- Guidance on whether your project may be better suited for literary agents, small presses, self-publishing, or further revision
- A starter list of up to 10 agents and small presses to research for your manuscript
- A 20-minute Zoom consultation
- A brief next-step checklist after the call
This is not a line edit or copyedit. It is a publishing consultation focused on helping you understand where your manuscript stands and what steps make the most sense next.
