You can read more about the benefits of outsourcing here.

Below is a clear guide to our fees for different types of engagements. Final costs are confirmed once we understand the scope of your project.

  • Publishers, distributors, and industry organisations are encouraged to get in contact directly to discuss requirements.
  • Authors can book consultations via the Calendly link below. You will be asked a few quick questions so we can make the most of our time together. Please send through an email prior to our meeting with relevant product information and other notes relevant to your book or project. If your session is part of an author care package, the publisher will provide these details.

Sales & Marketing Outsourcing, Publicity Campaigns, and Special Projects | Rates are negotiated based on the scope of work and the number of hours required each week.
