Hey! I’m Murtaza, a self-publishing coach here to help you succeed in publishing your book(s). I’m here to listen and provide advice and guidance to help you navigate the sometimes confusing world of self-publishing.
I’ll walk you through any questions or concerns you have about self-publishing your book, including but not limited to:
· I’ve written my book—now what?
· What’s the difference between a proofreader, a copyeditor, and a developmental editor, and which one do I need?
· Should my book be an e-book, a paperback, a hardcover, or all of the above?
· Does my book title work for my intended audience?
· What size should my book be (e.g., 5×8, 6×9, etc.)?
· Who prints and distributes my book, and how do I make that happen?
· What is an ISBN number, and do I need one?
· What do I do about marketing, publicizing, and selling my book?
Let me provide answers to your biggest self-publishing questions so you save time and money—and make your book a complete success.
*Note: This is a process where I provide some answers and help you discover the rest.
All coaching/consulting sessions are done via video call (Zoom, Skype, etc.).
My name is Murtaza, and I’m a storyteller. I’ve worked professionally as a theater and voiceover actor and playwright. Nowadays, most of my work is as a book author and editor, as well as a public speaker, speechwriter, and voice talent. I love the challenge and thrill of crafting a story because stories are the connective tissue that holds us together as a people. Stories inspire, engage, and create movements. Why not your story?
