Free Phone Consultation

Got questions about publishing?

I know how crazy it can be, trying to navigate the publishing world. I’ve worked in writing, editing, and publishing for over 20 years, so, I get it!

That’s why I offer a Free Publishing Call, no strings attached, to answer your questions- even if you are planning to work with a different publisher, or to self-publish. Because I understand how hard it is to find clear, straight answers.

Whether you’re a seasoned author with several books under your belt, or a new writer looking for your first contract, self publishing, traditional publishing, or going with a small press, it is always helpful to have a line to someone on the inside.

My goal is to help you get your book published. In my experience, one conversation can make all the difference.

Let’s talk!  To schedule, please email Rebecca@VillageLanePublishing.com
