Self-Publishing Support

For picture book readers, storytellers and heart-led creators.

There’s something magical about holding your own story in your hands – the weight of the pages, the scent of fresh ink, the quiet knowing that your words matter. 

But the process can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re walking the self-publishing path. I’ve been there – notebook full of dreams, heart full of hope, and no idea where to begin. 

If you’re here, maybe you’re:

  • Nurturing a story you’ve written for the little hearts in your life. 
  • Ready to turn your manuscript into a beautifully crafted picture book. 
  • Seeking gentle, informed support that honours your voice and vision. 

You’re in the right place. And I’d love to walk this path with you.

“Where do I find an illustrator?”

“Should I get an ISBN?”

“How do I launch a book without a publisher?”

Together, we’ll talk through where you’re at and what you need next. Whether it’s editing advice, illustrator tips, formatting questions, or marketing ideas, I’ll guide you with clarity and care.

Price: $99/hr (phone or video call)

I’ll share everything I learned while self-publishing Cami and the Lost Letters – the platforms I used, what I’d do differently, and what helped me feel calm and confident throughout.

Why I do this...

Because self-publishing doesn't have to mean doing it alone.

I believe in story-first publishing – where your voice stays true and your book becomes something you’re proud to share with the world. 

If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
