Book consulting  Do you want to raise your profile and have the credibility that comes from being a published author?  There are many options available, from self-publishing to traditional publishers, from quick and easy booklets to audio/book packages.  I am the author of a book in the Complete Idiot's Guide series, as well as other books and booklets that I self-published.

Through consulting I help you determine:

•   the overall best book project for you, given your knowledge, goals and talents;
•   the optimal title for your book (a great title is critical for success and should help set the tone and the overall content of the book);
•   The best book cover - As Linda Varone says "Images speak directly to the subconscious."  People make split-second judgments about the quality of what's inside your book based solely on the cover.  For self-published books, I work closely with you and a professional designer to choose the right look, graphic elements, colors and style to make your book a winner!
•   how to make your book marketable - and easer to promote - whether you self-publish or go to a traditional publisher;
•   the "skeleton" of the book: how many sections, chapters, including chapter titles.

In addition, I can refer book consulting clients to other services that you will need if you decide to self-publish, or if you decide to seek traditional publishing. 

Occasionally, I offer turnkey author projects, where a very limited number of individuals co-author a new book.  There is one way to learn about upcoming book author projects: subscribe to my free newsletter, these opportunities are passed along here.

My most recent project was working with a financial advisor, entirely by phone, to make his book happen.   See the book cover designs that I developed for this project below.
