Where do I begin?

If you're thinking of publishing a book and doing it on your own, this is a good question to ask. You'll need to know if you're ready to do it or if you need more research. Michelle works with clients who are self-starters, willing to put in the hours of research and study needed to become professional publishers. As an indie author, you become a publisher. You hire the team you need to take your book from start to finish, but the project manager is YOU!

Before you reach out to Michelle, she wants you to understand the business side of writing. Wondering if you have what it takes? Here are the first steps to take before contacting Michelle about your book project:

  1. Take the assessment below to see where you land on the spectrum of indie author to traditional author.
  2. Watch tutorials on KDP (scroll down). If they seem overwhelming, it means there is still some study to be done.
  3. Talk to your writing coach. Do they think you're ready for publishing? Or are you hoping to skirt around their advice and "go for it" anyway?

Explore KDP Publishing

KDP is Amazon's publishing platform for independent authors. This means YOU are the publisher, and KDP is a book printer and distributor but is not a publishing company. Independent authors establish their own publishing company.

When you're ready for the editing, cover design, and typesetting, that's where I come in. You don't have to fumble around trying to do it yourself. I become your editing and design team while you manage the business side of being a publisher.
