Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our consultations

Our Discovery Call is 15 minutes, perfect for a quick introduction. Project Check-Ins run 15-30 minutes depending on complexity. Strategy Sessions are 60 minutes for a comprehensive deep-dive into your publishing plans.
For Discovery Calls, just come with your questions and a general idea of your project. For Strategy Sessions, it helps to have your manuscript status, target audience in mind, and any specific goals or concerns you want to discuss.
Absolutely. You can reschedule your appointment through the confirmation email you receive. We just ask for at least 24 hours notice when possible so we can offer the slot to another author.
After your call, you'll receive a summary of what we discussed along with recommended next steps. For Strategy Sessions, you'll also receive a recording of the call. There's never any pressure to proceed - the decision is entirely yours.
Not at all. We work with authors at every stage - from those with just an idea to those with completed manuscripts. Our Discovery Call is perfect for understanding where you are and what support you might need.
We use Zoom for all our consultations. You'll receive a meeting link in your confirmation email. You can join from any device - computer, tablet, or phone.
