  • The 5 production decisions that determine whether your book looks self-published or professionally produced
  • The platform and pricing mistakes that quietly suppress sales — and how to avoid locking yourself into the wrong choices from day one

Why Learn from Me?

I’ve worked in publishing for more than 30 years — from educational publishing to commercial non-fiction, from bookshops to boardrooms. I know how the industry works because I’ve been part of it: as an editor, a publisher, a consultant, and now as a trainer.

Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of writers:

  • Get their books published professionally 
  • Navigate the minefield of self-publishing 
  • Land agents and secure traditional publishing deals 
  • Avoid the scams, shortcuts and false promises that waste time and money

I don’t sell miracle fixes. I won’t tell you what you want to hear. Instead, I’ll give you straight answers, clear steps, and ongoing support — so you can make confident decisions about your book and your publishing journey.

Whether you’re looking to self-publish or find a literary agent, I’ll help you do it properly — and avoid the painful mistakes most first-time authors make.
