Classes, panels, guest speaker and seminars
Indie Publishing
I love indie publishing and have taught classes on indie-publishing (online and in-person). I've mentored hundreds of writers over the years. I've also been a guest speaker, a panelist/moderator, and held seminars on indie publishing for the following groups:
Writers Guild of America, West
Romance Writers of America (LARA chapter)
Horror Writers Association (Los Angeles chapter)
Columbia College Chicago (Semester in LA)
Northwestern University Entertainment Alliance (NUEA)
TV Writers for the Future Fund
Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo
Pagan Pride Long Beach
Author Services (price list on request)
Becoming an indie author can be daunting, and there's a huge learning curve. I was one of the early adopters, so I've learned a lot along the way. If you need help, I offer the following services:
Formatting
I format print books and distributor-specific ebooks (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, GooglePlay, iBooks, D2D) with a clickable TOC and clickable social media links.
Editing
I do developmental and copy editing. I go through your book and make sure it all works, that it's error-free, and that your voice shines through.
Publishing Accounts
I can help set up your online publishing account and maximize the effectiveness of your meta-data.
Branding and Marketing
Are your books not selling? I can let you know if you're making one of the big five mistakes that can tank your sales, and how to fix the problem(s).
Consulting & Handholding
If you need advice on navigating the indie publishing world... If you're overwhelmed and need someone to step in and handle things for you... Or if you want someone to teach you how to do it yourself... Send me a message.
