Book mentoring · Self-publishing

Want to write your own book? I'll show you where to start.

Self-publishing mentoring for first-time authors who want to write their own book but don't know how, or where, to begin. From someone who wrote and self-published his own memoir, in paperback and on Kindle.

How book mentoring works

How I help

  • Working out where and how to start, when you've never written a book before
  • The tools and guidance to plan, write and keep going
  • Finding your way through self-publishing, step by step
  • Guidance from publishing Bali's Son myself, in paperback and on Kindle

What I don't do

  • I don't write your book for you
  • I don't ghostwrite

The story and the words stay yours. I mentor you so you can write and publish it yourself.

Format: online only.

Pricing: enquire.
