Strategic Partnership for Complex Book Projects

and Publishing Ventures

 

Most authors and publishers can handle the basics. Where they need help is seeing the strategic possibilities, coordinating complex moving parts, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks while maintaining quality.

 

That’s where I come in.

​

With 30+ years as a publisher, business strategist, and partnership architect, I bring strategic thinking and hands-on project execution. I see what you’re missing, design the approach that serves your goals, assemble the right team, and manage everything to completion.

​

You get a strategic partner who understands publishing deeply—not just a project coordinator checking boxes.

 

Two Ways I Work With You

​

STRATEGIC CONSULTING
You need expert guidance on publishing decisions, business strategy, or navigating complex challenges. We work together to clarify your options, identify the best path forward, and create an actionable plan.

 

Best for: Publishing strategy, business planning, partnership development, revenue modeling, decision-making support.

​

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
You need someone to coordinate, execute, and deliver on complex book projects from concept to completion. I assemble the team, manage the timeline, ensure quality, and handle all the details.

 

Best for: Book production, multi-author projects, legacy books, entrepreneurial publishing ventures, comprehensive author support.
