Publishing

I help independent authors turn finished manuscripts into professionally published books.

Through Hidden Mentor Media, I work with authors on the practical side of independent publishing: book production, interior and cover coordination, distribution, and navigating the many decisions between “the manuscript is finished” and “the book is available to readers.”

Independent publishing without the mystery

Publishing a book involves a surprising number of moving parts. ISBNs, formats, metadata, distribution, print specifications, retailer listings, and production decisions can quickly become overwhelming, especially for an author who would rather be writing.

My goal is to help authors understand those decisions and make informed choices while retaining appropriate control over their work.

I also publish selected projects in partnership with Hidden Mentor Media. If you have a completed or nearly completed manuscript and want to talk about what publishing it might involve, get in touch.
