Publishing Strategy
You write a book…now what? Publishing can seem mysterious, because too much of it is hidden behind buzzwords and one-size-fits-all answers. Beth offers straightforward, personalized conversations to help you navigate the complicated space and answer your questions. Do you need an agent? If so, how should you find one? Should you self publish? If so, what are the steps to getting a polished and professional book? Beth will help dig into what your specific goals are for your book and how to accomplish them. She works with authors to develop strategies for:
- Pre-release personal branding (marketing and platform building)
- Pitching projects to agents or publishers
- Self publishing (a general overview, or step-by-step project management)
