Special Pricing + Offer for My Birthday Month

20% discount for annual subscribers + a treat for founding members!

Hi Everyone!

August is my birthday month, so I am offering TWO deals, which are good until August 14 (my birthday):

1. A 20% discount on annual subscriptions. That means you will pay $56 instead of $70. What a bargain. You can redeem the offer here.

2. FOUNDING MEMBERS who pay $150 will receive a 30-minute “Ask Me Anything” (about publishing) Zoom call. Send your receipt to publishingconfidential@gmail.com, and I will send you a calendar link.

PLEASE READ THE CONDITIONS CAREFULLY:

A Zoom call will be scheduled through Calendly.

The date MUST be before October 14, 2024. I start grad school on October 14, so this is the only time I can offer the Zoom calls this year.

I cannot do the following for Zoom “Ask Me Anything” calls:

• Introduce you to an agent.

• Read your book proposal or query letter.

• Digital Audits (this is time-consuming & I charge $350 for it)

• Introduce you to a publisher.

• Guarantee any outcomes for your book.

I can do the following for Zoom “Ask Me Anything” calls:

• Answer specific questions about book publishing & processes within it.

• Give you advice for marketing & publicity (in a general way).

• Talk about Substack strategy (remember you only have 30 minutes).

• Advise you on the next steps as an author.

Don’t forget I am also offering these in-depth classes:
