YOUR BOOK. YOUR PATH. YOUR NEXT STEP.

Publishing a book comes with hundreds of decisions. You don't have to navigate them alone. 5 Two Press provides independent authors with practical publishing guidance, strategic support, and a clearer path forward—while keeping ownership of your book, your publishing accounts, and your royalties exactly where they belong: with you.

Publishing guidance built around your book.

I believe authors should understand their publishing journey—not surrender control of it.

As an Author Guide and Publishing Partner, I help independent authors navigate the decisions between manuscript and publication. That might mean figuring out your publishing path, setting up distribution, understanding ISBNs and metadata, preparing for bookstores, planning a launch, finding the right publishing professionals, or simply figuring out what needs to happen next.

You remain the owner of your work, your files, your publishing accounts, and your royalties. My role is to bring experience, strategy, resources, and guidance to the table so you can make informed decisions about your book.

Ways to Work With Me

Publishing Compass Session | 60 Minutes $125

You don't need an entire publishing plan. You just need help finding your next direction. Bring one publishing question, decision, challenge, or obstacle and we'll spend an hour working through it together. Ideal for authors who already know their general path but need experienced guidance along the way.

Publishing Blueprint Session | 90 Minutes $297

Need to see the whole road ahead? We'll take a deeper look at your book, goals, publishing path, timeline, and priorities. After our 90-minute strategy session, you'll receive a personalized written Publishing Blueprint with recommended priorities, resources, and your next steps.
