The first question is: why would you want to write and publish a book? As Marie Forleo says: “The world needs that special gift that only you have.” Many say that a book can open doors and attract customers and clients. And I say writing and publishing bring the Joy of Creation to you and share your visions with the world. Homer, Sophocles. William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Benjamin Franklin, William Wordsworth, Walt Whitman, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Carl Sagan, Ian Fleming, Frank Herbert, Gene Roddenberry, Mother Teresa, Stephen Covey, George Lucas, Stan Lee, Julia Cameron, and millions of others over the millennia have written things that still entertain, enlighten, and inspire us today. You are joining a long-lived and esteemed club of writers. Where Are You On Your Journey? Do you have a finished manuscript that needs a structural review and editing? Editors and beta readers can help. This is a good point for me to help with suggestions and editing. Is your manuscript ready for formatting for submission to Amazon and other platforms? In my experience, further editing refinements come at this stage, with a flipbook being a good way to review the text and formatting before finalizing. I use Atticus for formatting and update a flipbook for review. I am still using this process to improve my books, including Publish Your Book Everywhere That Pays and Build Your Golden Publishing Sales Machine. Are you working on recording the audiobook? One of the best ways to spot awkward passages and the need for transitions is reading it aloud. Recording the audio while finalizing the formatting will make the book read better, and you can release the print book, eBook, and audiobook at the same time and include them in a Digital Experience Edition you sell directly. I can help with the recording process and use the recording to promote your book, too. Do you have front and back covers that meet the formatting guidelines of Amazon and other platforms? Amazon will generate a cover template based on trim size, paper quality, and colour choices. The spine width will vary based on your choices. Amazon has a cover generator; there are book cover services, and I have created and adjusted many covers over the years. Are you interested in creating a course or membership program related to your book? A multimedia Digital Experience Edition with supporting media plus a membership program can be a Golden Ticket for you. This is my specialty and the heart of the Golden Publishing Sales Machine. Do you have a collection of previously published books and courses that are not performing well? Bundling into a Digital Experience Edition can breathe new sales life into your Golden Content. I can create and market a Digital Experience Edition of your Golden Content with you on retainer or as a Joint Venture collaboration. I am releasing The Greg Dixon Gold Vault of my books, videos, courses, recordings, and other content Do you have a marketing plan before, during, and after publishing? Early, ongoing marketing establishes your authority and attracts people to your books and offers. How I Can Help. I have experience, tools, and strategies to help you with all of the steps or just one or two. For example, you may be at the final stage of editing, formatting, and submitting your book. I can help with that with an affordable one-time retainer. Or perhaps you want guidance and help with this book and more in the future. My superpower is specialized experience and a creative approach across many areas, including writing, publishing, marketing, and story production. The best way to work with me is through a modest monthly retainer, where we discuss and implement the best steps together. For bigger projects, I will provide a proposal with pricing options.
