Before the call
Prepare a one-paragraph overview, rough word count, intended audience, current format, and a short list of questions.
A thoughtful publishing plan starts with your manuscript and the goals behind it.
Fields marked * are required. Add as much detail as you’re comfortable sharing.
A strong consultation works best when the author understands what the conversation can resolve. Share what your book is about, where you are in the manuscript, and what success means to you. You do not need to provide your entire unpublished manuscript in the website form.||The goal of the first conversation is to establish the project stage, identify essential services, surface blockers, and agree on a reasonable next step. Exact prices and production timing should follow a review of the project, rather than appearing as a guaranteed automated answer.
Prepare a one-paragraph overview, rough word count, intended audience, current format, and a short list of questions.
Discuss editorial readiness, design direction, publishing options, budget priorities, and which decisions you want to retain.
Ask for a clear written summary of recommended work, required materials, responsibilities, and any proposed paid scope.
Review deliverables, revision limits, ownership, third-party expenses, handover format, and payment terms.
The consultation form asks for more than a name and email so advice can be relevant. Manuscript status and word count help estimate production complexity; genre and format affect cover and layout strategy; preferred contact method helps make the conversation convenient.
Local VS Code preview does not deliver form submissions. The business email and PHP server must be configured and verified before launch.
