In trying to get published, you find yourself

sifting through too much information, and

navigating a complex maze of tasks—alone. 😟

And whether traditional publishing or self publishing is for you, you don’t know…

→ exactly how to successfully get a book deal and make it through the other side. (The query, the proposal, interacting with publishers, what to expect, and all that jazz, ugh!)—

→ or how to approach the self-publishing process in the best way for you (so many steps to follow, so many questions, and figuring out how to publish on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark seems like a steep mountain to climb🏔️).

Writing the book was hard enough. This doesn’t need to give you a headache.

The world needs your book—and you want it to be read.

But you have more questions than answers. And you want to do this right.

You need someone to guide you. An expert to show you how to publish your nonfiction book.

Here’s what we’ll do:

1️⃣Contact and consult: Tell me about your book and your goals and we’ll see if we’re a fit. (Read more below and see what I do.)

2️⃣Plan and payment: We discuss how I can help you and our next steps; you’ll receive an invoice and can pay with a credit card.

3️⃣Support and success: Coaching takes place. Your questions are answered, helpful materials are exchanged and discussed, and you get the strategies and insight you need, all delivered in a supportive and encouraging way.

“Daniel Tortora is an amazing book coach. He met me where I was at . . . and had some great ideas that I wasn't aware of.

He was as excited as I was, which was exactly what I needed.

Daniel helped me get clear on my goals and gave me simple, easy-to-follow strategies. His enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge of the publishing industry is vast.”

—Kelly Miller, health coach and self-published cookbook author

“When it was time to start preparing the book for submission to my publisher, I turned to Dan to help me shepherd the manuscript through that long process.

His attention to detail is astounding, and just what I needed.

Knowing he was there to keep a watchful eye over me at all times buoyed me up, held me accountable, and ensured I had a friend and ally who was helping me make my book the best it could be.”

—Eric A. Cheezum, author of Chessie: A Cultural History of the Chesapeake Bay Sea Monster
