Publishing production consulting
From manuscript to print-ready or platform-ready files — the right production decisions are addressed before and during publishing. This includes layout structure, trim sizes, margins, typography, file formats, and platform guidelines. You can bring an existing project or start from scratch. Multilingual publishing projects are also supported.
How it works
1:1 Consulting & guidance
Personal consulting sessions focused on your specific book, goals, and publishing path from concept to release. Each project is reviewed in detail to identify what needs to be done, with clear, actionable guidance based on real book production experience. Sessions are available via video call or email, and can be booked as a one-off or as ongoing support.
Project-based support
You provide the content — the technical side is handled end to end. This includes layout, file preparation, preflight checks, and platform-ready delivery for print or digital distribution. Whether you are publishing on KDP, IngramSpark, or through a traditional publisher, files are prepared to meet the exact technical specifications required.
Workflow mentorship
For creators who want to understand book publishing and production workflows from the inside. A step-by-step guided process covers layout, file preparation, platform requirements, and distribution decisions — so you can build long-term skills and handle future projects independently. Ideal for self-publishers, small studios, or agencies looking to bring production work in-house.
Who this is for
Individual creators & authors
- First-time authors
- Self-publishers
- People starting on Amazon KDP

The consulting experience covers a wide range of projects — from single-author self-published titles to multilingual series managed by translation and localisation agencies. First-time authors often need guidance on the entire production chain, while agencies and publishers typically need targeted support for file preparation, layout troubleshooting, or platform compliance. All consulting is grounded in hands-on production experience, not theoretical advice.
