Printing a book is easy, but publishing a quality book that reflects well on you requires a background in the publishing industry, plus professional expertise in writing, editing and design. As the owner of GoldenTree Communications and with more than 30 years of experience in publishing, I’ll work with you, taking your book from a concept to a quality published piece. To customize the services for your project, choose any or all of the following:

Manuscript Coaching and Development

I’ll work closely with you to develop your book concept. Whether you have an initial draft or want to start from scratch, we’ll work together to create a polished manuscript.

Editing and Proofreading

If you have a completed manuscript, we’ll do a thorough editing and proofreading before it goes to print.

Design and printing

We all judge books by their covers, but other design elements are equally important to a book’s success. What page layout will make it easy to read? What kind of binding will work best? What should the overall size be? Is your book a workbook or how-to? Are there illustrations/photographs or straight text? We’ll come up with a design that sells.

Publishing options

With e-books, Kindle, print-on-demand and other options, publishing offers exciting options to fit your needs.

Marketing and distribution strategies

In addition to selling books at your speaking engagements, we’ll help you develop a plan for marketing and distributing your book via the Internet and through other channels.

Introductory Consultation – 30 minutes Free

Contact me for a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll clarify your book idea and see how I can help.

Investment

Based on our initial conversation (and review of your manuscript, if you have one), I’ll prepare a detailed estimate of services.

What I need from you:
1. A commitment to stay with this process. Book publishing doesn’t happen overnight, but the rewards are well worth it.
2. A collaborative spirit. Because this process is tailored for you, we’ll have a lot of give and take to make sure the finished book is everything you want it to be.

What you can expect from me:
1. A high degree of personal attention and professional expertise.
2. A genuine interest in helping you create a book that will enhance your career as a speaker.
