FAQs

Quick answers to common questions:

Do you work with authors outside the US?

Yes! Most of my services are virtual and work globally. I have worked with clients in Europe, Asia, Australia, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

I'm not published yet. Can you still help me?

The Author's Business Accelerator is for published authors, but 1:1 milestone coaching and strategy sessions work for authors at any stage.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, for the Author's Business Accelerator. Coaching and Email on Demand packages can be purchased in increments convenient for you. Project management and author management contracts require a retainer, which is applied to the first month's services. After that, we bill monthly for services performed and continue to extend that credit as long as invoices are paid on time (in 15 days).
