Overview

At every stage in the writing and publishing process there are many options and possible courses of action. Sometimes there are so many 'what ifs' we can suffer a debilitating case of analysis/paralysis through fear of making a costly error.

Do you need a mentor?

Do you need advice to create the perfect book launch and ongoing marketing strategy?

I've walked the path to become one of Amazon's best-selling self-published authors and learnt the lessons so you don't have to...

After four years of self-publishing, and forming my own successful publishing company using only the tools that Amazon P.O.D. offer, I am in the perfect place to advise and mentor you through every challenge and question you may have on your journey as a writer.

We can teach you to get your book the publicity it needs through a proven marketing strategy that includes (but isn't limited to), Facebook advertising, Amazon Marketing Services, Email automation, website development, branding and image.

It took me four years to figure out how to get the results I need, and learn to make things happen as seamlessly as possible. Next, I trained an excellent team to manage every task and make my publishing/marketing machine beautifully quick and well-oiled. I can offer you the exact same machine I have used to make over $1,200,000 in royalties in four years.

Along with my own writing projects, I now manage a small yet highly-trained team of talented marketers, cover designers, web developers, translators, transcribers, accountants, proof-readers and formatters who can give me meaningful results with a minimum of fuss.

What I can offer you is genuine solution to the wealth of options you'll find when marketing your self-published book, with the integrity and value of having walked your path before. I really believe that I can help you achieve your goals much sooner than going alone...and it won't cost you a fortune.

If I don't think I can help you find your path, I will tell you so right up front. I'm not here to take your hard-earned money for nothing.

Whether you want a one-off conversation to answer all the difficult questions, regular contact to drive you forward with confidence, or our extremely popular (and successful) two-part marketing strategy / trouble-shooting consultation with written reports, we can tailor-make a package to suit you.

The list of topics I consult on includes, but isn't limited to:


Mailing List Building
Email Marketing
Email Automation (particularly with MailChimp and Active Campaign)
Amazon Marketing Services (AMS)
Facebook Advertising
Google Adwords
Hiring Freelancers (This changed my life!)
Customer Service
Website Design
SEO Optimisation
Lead Generation Books
Dealing with Reviews

In addition to writing, there are so many areas where a modern author needs to spend their time... Not only can I help with your marketing and advertising, I can help make the burden of running your self-publishing business business smooth, easy, and, dare I say it... Fun!

Let's see how I can help you. Get in touch today to discuss your needs.

In 2015 I moved from focusing on my own writing to publishing that of other musicians. I have published and marketed the work of around eight other writers, the most successful of whom is earning over £2300 per month in royalties with just four titles.
My aim is to offer a fair deal to writers, so we split any profits 50/50.
While I'm not actively looking to publish your work, I will be happy to share my experience and expertise in getting your book in front of the right audience.

From my first self-published guitar book to 200,000 copies sold... I'm happy to share my journey from first steps to lucrative publishing company.

I run / oversee all aspects of my company so I have the insight to give your writing the success it deserves.

From writing to publishing, marketing to lead generation, mailing lists to Facebook campaigns....

Book covers, branding, distribution... you name it, I've done it.
