Pricing
Pricing is negotiable for those who have traditionally been under-represented in publishing, including those who identify as BAME or LGBTQ+, as well as those in the UK receiving income support.
Marketing consultation call
A 30 minute or one hour video consultation fully personalised to your needs.
Do you need advice on using your online presence to generate sales? Are you publishing a book soon and need to know how to start marketing it? Would you like to brainstorm some content ideas with an expert? Perhaps your book has been out for a few months and you want some tips on where to go next with your marketing activity? Our call can cover any and all of these topics, and more.
Calls are offered on a tiered pricing system.
In the 'light' version, I will look at your online presence and book info before the call, as well as a 1-2 page synopsis if you have one, so that I can provide tailored advice unique to you, your story and your situation. This is priced at £35 for a 30 minute call, and £55 for the hour.
In the 'standard' version, in addition to everything described above, I will read your whole book before the call. After the call, I will send you a detailed summary of everything we discuss, including my suggestions and any resources (such as how-to guides, advertising opportunities, etc) which we mention during the call. This costs £120 for the 30 minute call, and £150 for the hour.
Back cover copy (blurb) writing
£80 as a stand-alone service, or add blurb writing to one of my other services for just £30.
I will read your book (fiction or non-fiction) and write the back cover copy for you, with 3 variations on length, to suit different locations. If you feel it misses an important aspect, we can discuss and I will supply 1 revised version.
Personalised marketing plan
Looking for a detailed, multi-channel marketing plan that you can then carry out yourself? Look no further!
I can create a written document with strategies you could take to start increasing your sales, building your audience and leveraging your existing platform - a marketing plan. This marketing plan will be fully tailored to you and your book: I will read the book before I begin, and discuss your available time, budget and preferences to create a plan that is appropriate. Also in the plan, I will suggest a timeline of specific activities you can do at particular points, to help guide you.
