The Consultation

$350.00

Before anything can move forward, we have to understand what we’re working with. Intake is not just a discovery call—it’s a forensic evaluation of your book, your brand, and your current position in the literary landscape.

You’ll submit your manuscript, existing materials, and anything else you’ve been using to pitch, publish, or promote. From there, we conduct a deep review—of the work itself, its packaging, its market alignment, and the strategic gaps holding it back. Every strength is noted. Every weakness is addressed. Every opportunity is explored.

This process is the foundation of everything that follows. It clarifies whether the book is ready for market, whether the brand is working as hard as it could be, and what exactly needs to shift. It also reveals where you sit in our ecosystem—and whether we’re the right team to carry your work across the finish line.

The flat rate includes full manuscript review (up to 80,000 words), a comprehensive diagnostic memo, and a 45-minute consultation to walk through findings and next steps. Pricing starts at $350 for shorter works and scales based on manuscript length.

If you move forward with a package, this fee will be applied toward your total. Projects that fall between tiers (say, between Ready for Market and Needs Work) will receive a custom path forward.
