A one-hour conversation to help you figure out what comes next.
Self-publishing gives you control over your book, but it also leaves you with a lot of decisions. Which publishing platforms should you consider? When should you book editing and cover design? How early do you need to think about marketing? If you’re unsure where to begin—or how to put the pieces together and in the right order—Hawthorn & Aster’s Publishing Consultation gives you space to ask questions and make a practical plan.
This 60-minute, one-on-one session is tailored to your book, your goals, and where you are in the publishing process. Hawthorn & Aster specializes in romance publishing, but this consultation is open to indie authors across genres.
Before the call, you’ll complete a short intake form so we can understand your project and the questions you most want to cover. During the session, we can discuss topics such as:
Your next steps toward self-publishing
A realistic publishing timeline
Editing, formatting, cover design, and other production needs
Publishing and distribution platforms
Launch preparation and book marketing
Getting started with an author website or social media
Afterward, you’ll receive a short post-call report (PDF) summarizing the key recommendations and next steps we discussed, so you have something to refer back to as you move forward.
