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...
Our Philosophy… The principle we live by is “have integrity and add value”. One of the reasons for our publishing success is an unwillingness to settle for second best and to demand high standards from ourselves. If you use our services to help you publish your book, you’ll receive the same care and attention we give to our own books.
After 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.

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.
