The Book Birthing Package – $1,500

You have a brilliant idea for a book. But you’re not sure how to get started. Or finished. Brian Gruber’s one-on-one coaching process will guide you from the opening paragraphs of your story to demonstrate, in easy-to-follow steps, how to achieve your literary dream. Part cheerleader, part accountability partner, part editorial reviewer, and part publishing consultant, Brian helps fine-tune your writing process and your vision for your completed work. As a long-time marketing executive, entrepreneur, and creative mentor, Brian helps you sustain your vision, discipline, and expanding skill set, as you execute your project through the final design and publishing process.

The Spit & Polish Package – From  $1,200*

You have a manuscript. You’ve just finished writing the last page, or you’ve been through too many edits to remember.

Tom will work with you on language and structure until your text shines. A prolific, widely published journalist, best-selling author and seasoned editor, Tom’s masterful command of language, structure and storytelling techniques will take your work to higher ground.
