Meet Your Publishing Strategist
I’m Linda Secondari, founder of Studiolo Secondari and former Creative Director at Oxford University Press.
For more than two decades, I’ve helped authors, publishers, and thought leaders bring powerful ideas to market — shaping books that sell, resonate, and endure. Drawing on that experience, I developed the 4 Questions Framework, which serves as the foundation for all my book strategy work.
Through this framework, my clients and I collaborate in The Publishing Roadmap — a deep-dive process that transforms creative vision into a clear, actionable publishing plan.
For those who prefer ongoing guidance, I offer 1:1 Coaching, providing focused support and strategic insight at every stage of the publishing journey.
And for authors who thrive in community, I created The Strategic Author, a three-month group program that applies the 4Q Framework through guided learning, exercises, and shared engagement.
I’ve seen it again and again: the moment an author begins to think like a publisher, everything changes. Decisions become easier. Opportunities become visible. The work gains direction.
My role is to help you see your book the way the industry will — and give you the professional clarity to navigate publishing with confidence, purpose, and plan.
