What About Publishing?
When your manuscript is completed, the publishing journey begins. Publishing usually begins with a Manuscript Evaluation and/or Developmental Editing. If you have written your book with the help of one of our programs, you may be able to skip those steps.
While the publishing phase is not part of the coaching package, we have a wonderful team of experts on hand to help you through the process. The result is a world-class book in your hands and the hands of the readers who most need your message.
Publishing is easy as…
Ok, it’s not really that easy. There are a gazillion details to worry about. But we do all that so you can focus on the big picture: making a powerful impact with your book.
The “Big Three” items that elevate your book to a world class publication are:
- Professional Editing. An editor who does this work all day every day brings a level of skill to your writing that makes it easier for readers to read and enjoy. Bottom line: a great editor makes you a great writer.
- Cover Design. Since books really are judged by their covers, having the right designer is key. A talented designer spends the time to understand your branding and your message, and brings to life your book in a visual way that speaks directly to your soulmate readers.
- Interior Layout. The design of the inside of the book matters. It creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere for the reader to return to again and again.

What Authors Are Saying ~
“I LOVE what you did with my book. I can’t tell you how happy I am!”
~Kelly Robbins, Author of Trust Your Next Step: Creating The Confidence to Cut Fresh Tracks
“I am incredibly grateful to my book coach, Amy Collette. Teaming up with Amy reassured me that I could actually follow through and complete the book in a reasonable period of time. I felt like I was working with a member of the family, most certainly with a very trusted friend. Amy, I would not have gotten the book done without you.”
~ John Alexander, Author of The Journey Begins With 1,000 Miles
