For this specific project I am simply looking for someone who could sit down with me for somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes simply to guide me on what it looks like to publish a children's book. If we hit it off, I would be more than open to keeping this relationship on-going to help with all the future tasks for this book.

Hello, I wrote a book and hired a self-publishing company, which, unfortunately, is completely unprofessional and unreliable. I think about dropping them. At this moment, I have a formatted text for the print version. I need quality formatting for an ebook. I want a smart interactive index. There are about 80 black-and-white drawings in the book. I will get ISBNs and barcodes. I have a good cover design that needs those barcodes added. I already have a KDP account set up. Henryk A Kowalczyk

Hello, prospective partner! I have recently published a book about widowhood and loss. It was published by a small publisher, and much of the marketing and promotion falls to me. I had a family member with a marketing background helping me, but circumstances have arisen that made it impossible for that person to continue. So, mid-stream I need some short-term but intensive experience with book promotion. I already have a nice author website and had a local launch party (the book was published in April). I have done well at local promotion (I've had a media interview, a local podcast, and my story is coming up in two local magazines). I have also hit the speaker circuit (I have spoken at a grief and loss conference and am speaking at another large conference in August). However, I have had next to no success pitching the book (or pitching myself as a speaker or podcast guest, or interview subject) outside my immediate geographic circle. Here is what I think I need: --Assistance in pitching to nationwide or regional podcasters (many grief podcasters do accept proposals for guest speakers), national magazines, radio talk shows, guest speaking engagements, etc. I live in the intermountain West. --OR (and I'm very serious about this) I need someone with experience to look at all this and tell me that my aim is exceeding my reach--maybe it will just stay a lovely, niche, local little book, and it's a waste of time and energy to make it bigger than it is. So, I need someone who will be very honest with me about this. --i need help calling up and suuproting and following up on pitches. I have extensive pr background and I know how to write pitches and press releases--within this immediate vicinity, I've done well with those. But I work full-time, and I don't have time for research and follow-up. --Good, thoughtful research to tell me who I should reach out to (and how) and who is not likely to be interested. --Input and guidance about Amazon or FB ads, an area i know little about. --Event promotion--should I look for speaking engagements? Bookstore signings? Library co-promotions? Can I donate books to libraries or hospices or the cancer socieity (my late husband died of cancer) and write a news blurb about that? --How to use metrics to see where I am with things. --Strategies for encouraging people to write reviews. I have very few--though they are all really good. --Anything else important that I haven't thought of. I have budgeted up to 40 hours, over about a 30- 60-day period, for this.
