Please email Kirt at kirt @ smilethebook.com (no spaces before or after @) to claim your spot and we will set up a time to talk about your book and strategies.

You're excited to write a book, but don't know where to start. You can’t figure out the world of publishing. Whether you're navigating traditional publishing or exploring self-publishing options, I'll outline the advantages and disadvantages of each path. 

I explain the pros and cons of different publishing options and marketing strategies. I guide you to make the best decision to meet your book publishing goals. 

We focus on the areas you select, be it your manuscript, title, ISBN, website, social media, printing, public relations, sales, Amazon, obtaining reviews, and more. 

I help you complete, publish and market your book:
