FAQs
What kind of clients do you work with?
We work with authors, publishers, and organizations who have something meaningful to say, and want that message to land with clarity, elegance, and impact. Whether you're building a brand, writing a book, or reshaping communications, we meet you where you are and develop a strategy to get you where you want to be.
Do you offer à la carte services or only full packages?
Both. We can take on soup-to-nuts projects—from concept through publication—or provide standalone support like book design, editing, branding, or digital strategy. If you’re not sure what you need, let’s talk it through.
What is the 4 Questions Book Lab?
It’s our flagship group experience for authors at any stage—part clarity accelerator, part strategy lab. Over four months, we explore the WHY, WHAT, WHO, and HOW of your book idea, partial manuscript, or book to help you align it with your goals, your audience, and the real publishing marketplace. Think: less accountability group, more creative clarity engine.
Do I need a finished manuscript to work with you?
Not at all. We love meeting authors at the idea stage—it's where we shine. Whether you're still shaping your concept, knee-deep in drafting, or wondering how to bring a finished manuscript into the world, we help you find your throughline.
Do you offer one-on-one coaching?
Yes. We offer customized coaching intensives and monthly retainers for authors who want strategic support at every stage—from idea development through launch planning. If you need eyes on your outline, your query, or help in crafting your entire publishing roadmap, we're here.
Can I hire you just for book design?
Yes. We offer bespoke cover and interior design for traditional publishers and self-publishing authors alike. Our background includes thousands of titles—so we know how to make your book stand out on the shelf and perform in the marketplace.
Do you offer website or digital marketing support?
We do. Our Digital Communications packages include everything from brand audits and content strategy to newsletters, platform building, and campaign design. We specialize in author platforms and organizations crafting messaging that resonates.
What’s the Author Visibility Toolkit?
It’s our tailored support program for authors who need help being seen. We help you build your platform, generate buzz, and reach the right readers—without burning out or getting stuck in the social media vortex.
Can you help my team with content strategy or communications?
Yes! We’ve worked with publishing teams and creative orgs to redesign newsletters, improve cross-team workflows, and clarify messaging across digital channels. If you’re overwhelmed or understaffed, we’re the calm, strategic partner you’ve been looking for.
How do you price your services?
We build custom quotes based on the scope, timeline, and complexity of each project. Coaching and intensives are flat-rate; full-service projects and retainers are quoted after a discovery call. We’re happy to provide ballpark ranges before diving in.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes—especially for authors and solo clients. We believe in flexibility and transparency. Let’s find a rhythm that works for both of us.
What’s the first step to working with you?
Start by scheduling a discovery call. We’ll talk through your goals, timeline, and where you’re feeling stuck. If it’s a good fit, we’ll follow up with a proposal.
