This consult is for any writer who already has a book contract (ideally with at least a few months before publication) or who has a manuscript ready and wants to think proactively about their publication. We'll cover a wide variety of topics such as how to navigate the current media landscape, how to best work with your in-house publicity team, how you can help your own publicity campaign with ideas specific to help your work, and much more.
