Four ways to work together.

Terms

What's included, and what isn't.

Revisions

A revision round means one set of consolidated written feedback, delivered at once. Cover design includes two rounds; interior formatting includes three. Additional rounds are $250 for cover, $150 for interior, quoted and approved before any further work begins.

Payment

Publishing Power Hour is paid in full at booking, reschedulable with 48 hours' notice. Author Coaching is 50% at booking, 50% at week six. Book Production is 50% at booking, 50% on completion; final print-ready and ebook files are released once the final payment clears. Done-for-You Publishing is 50% at booking, 25% on approval of cover and interior, and 25% before platform setup begins.

Timelines

Every package assumes feedback within ten business days of delivery. If a project goes quiet longer than thirty days, I'll pause it and reschedule the remaining work into the next available slot.

Ownership

You own every file produced, including print-ready and ebook files, and you keep 100% of your rights and 100% of your royalties. Always.
