75 minutes was spot on for Kay, who booked in with me yesterday to pick my brain about:
❓ the genre, audience and marketability of her two manuscripts
❓ self-publishing versus traditional publishing
❓ how to go about querying agents
Our chat was wide-ranging and flexible, and Kay left with a clearer plan for her next steps, including a select range of resource and service recommendations to help her get there. I pointed her towards a few different books, courses and editorial directories, from great freebies to worthwhile investments, so she could decide for herself whether, and how, to seek out extra support.
Had she googled? Of course she had, but she was overwhelmed by the amount of information out there and didn’t know how much of it applied to her context, or how much of it she could trust.
So she sought out human expertise. Moi. I guided her as best I could, drawing on what I’ve learnt over eight years in the industry, and signposted her to other places when the questions strayed beyond my area of expertise.
If you think something like this would be useful to you, and you have some time in the afternoon (GMT), book in with me for a sounding board session of your own. 😊
