The Publishing Roadmap

Clarity. Strategy. A plan for your book’s success.

Most authors start with creativity.
Smart authors start with strategy.

The Publishing Roadmap is a deep-dive strategy engagement designed to transform your book idea, manuscript, or publishing goals into a clear, actionable plan.

What You’ll Get

A one-on-one intensive session followed by a 20+ page personalized strategic publishing plan that maps out your entire publishing journey — from manuscript to market.

Your roadmap will include:

  • Goal Alignment: Clarify your purpose and publishing objectives.

  • Positioning & Audience Insight: Define who your book is for — and how to reach them.

  • Comparables & Market Context: Understand where your book fits (and how to stand out).

  • Publishing Path Analysis: Evaluate traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing options.

  • Timeline & Next Steps: Receive a clear, customized action plan and professional recommendations.

Who It’s For

The Roadmap is ideal for:

  • Authors with an idea, a partial or completed manuscript, who are unsure of the best publishing path.

  • Thought leaders or professionals ready to publish strategically and reach their audience.

  • Writers who want clarity before investing in editing, design, or marketing.

If you’re serious about your book and want to make smart, informed decisions — this is where you start.

How It Works

  1. 60-Minute Deep-Dive Session: We’ll meet one-on-one to discuss strategy, publishing paths, and next steps.

  2. Your Custom Roadmap: Soon thereafter, you’ll receive a detailed strategy document, typically 20+ pages, outlining your path to publication.

Meet Your Publishing Strategist

I’m Linda Secondari, founder of Studiolo Secondari and former Creative Director at Oxford University Press.

For over 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 created The Publishing Roadmap: a deep-dive process that distills your creative vision into a clear, actionable strategy.

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.
