Our role at Optimal Publishing is to guide and coach you to success, maintaining the momentum as you move towards achieving your goal of publishing your book. We’ll keep you accountable, and aim to avoid overwhelm.
Our standard offering is weekly sessions. At Optimal Publishing we've found that this pace creates the best momentum, with just 12 weeks from start to completing your first draft.
What we know is that in today's fast-paced world, every individual has their own pressures and challenges. Depending on other priorities, they may choose to meet fortnightly, or even monthly. It’s a longer time to completion, but if it makes the process sustainable, we see that as worthwhile.
Either way, there’s an extra two hours built in for those moments when you feel the need for some extra support. And in case unforeseen events prevent completion by the end of session 15, there is an option of negotiating extra sessions too. Notwithstanding, we know that with dedicated effort and commitment to meeting deadlines, your first draft will be completed by session 15.
Let's take a brief look at what that might look like.
Your Four Stages To Publication Success
Stage 1 - Sessions 1 - 3
In these three sessions, each taking one hour, we set you up for success, paying attention to the vital considerations most people miss when attempting to write a book. These are the foundations that make all the difference to successfully completing your first draft without continuously losing track, restarting, rewriting, or just giving up altogether.
Stage 2 - Sessions 4 - 15
During this time you submit chapters for review and constructive feedback. Then, we meet for 20 - 30 minutes each session to review the feedback together with a focus on message clarity and flow, whilst navigating the perfect balance between information and story to ensure you create a riveting read.
At the end of session 15, your first draft should be completed.
Stage 3 - Session 16
In this exciting one-hour session, we talk about what comes next in the publishing process. There’s a checklist of the steps, and a full publishing team who can take care of every step of the process from your finished first draft right through to publishing and beyond.
We’ll help you decide the best pathway to publishing for you.
Stage 4 - Celebrate
YOU DID IT!!
It's your time to celebrate as you've now successfully completed your book with Optimal Publishing.

"After spending a few months writing my book on my own, I knew I needed
help to get it to the standard that I wanted.
I shopped around for publishers and also people to help me self-publish.
I trusted the universe and when one of Optimal Publishing’s emails hit a chord in me,
I knew they were the right choice. They helped me more than I thought I needed.
With guidance and support I was able to turn my story into a
memoir that I am so proud to send out to the world."
"I started working on my book with Optimal Publishing, totally out of my comfort zone, reactive decision, made in the moment. Best decision ever. Optimal Publishing talked, walked and demonstrated the processes. Once I had a handle on that, my mind could stop asking
the how, what, why, what for and just allow the story
to flow through the fingers onto the page.
PS: I laughed out loud, I cried big wet tears and I smiled. Optimal Publishing was there the whole way, metaphorically holding my hand and soothing my nerves. I would recommend anyone considering writing to jump on board with Optimal Publishing and enjoy the magic carpet ride.
“I had the wonderful opportunity to write my book under Optimal Publishing
and I’m happy to report that I am a highly satisfied client.
Optimal Publishing has been professional, reliable, giving timely feedback about
my writing as I went through the process.
Optimal Publishing has a standard of
excellence second to none, and those who are fortunate enough to write under
Optimal Publishing tutelage, can expect nothing but the highest quality."
"Without Optimal Publishing I wouldn't have been able to get to the stage of a written
first draft and beyond.
Optimal Publishing is clearly very passionate and dedicated to helping
others realise their potential for success.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Optimal Publishing.
Thank you so much Optimal Publishing”
"Those words from my awesome book coach ring in my head every time I sit down to write.
I have attempted to put my story into words for many years now and worked with others who claimed to be “experts” in helping write a book. However, they were marketers and did not
connect with me in the way I needed. I am not doing this for fame, and I know books
are not about making money.
Optimal Publishing understood this and has listened to me about why I am writing this.
As a result, this time is different - I love the process that Optimal Publishing uses and our sessions are just pure joy. I am doing what I love but getting the guidance and support I need.
Optimal Publishing ongoing support has meant I am slowly but surely crafting a piece that has been therapeutic in many ways but opened the door to me reigniting my passion for writing.
I am grateful to Optimal Publishing and love the fun we are having along the way."
"Engaging Optimal Publishing as my book coach was the best investment in me I have ever made. Right from the first introductory call we established a rapport that has continued to grow throughout my book writing process.
Optimal Publishing is genuinely committed to my success and even though our "contract"
was completed several months ago, Optimal Publishing continues to support
me through the social media.
With my book now in presales, Optimal Publishing is as excited about my launch as I am.
I would recommend Optimal Publishing as a coach to anyone wanting to see their
book dream become a reality."
"Optimal Publishing has been priceless in completing my first book and
of course in continuing what I thought was only part reality, and mostly pipedream.
My pipedream is now my reality.
I highly recommend working with Optimal Publishing if you are looking
to turn your dreams into your reality."
"I am sitting here now, a bestselling author, hugely thanks to Optimal Publishing.
Optimal Publishing’s wisdom is endless when it comes to putting words together in
a powerful way.
Optimal Publishing understands the book publishing industry and is so generous with support. Working with Optimal Publishing made my book writing process joyful, fun and certainly much quicker than it might have been. What I hadn’t expected was how much I would learn about
myself, and how I would grow as a person.
I recommend Optimal Publishing to anyone who wants to write a
really, really good book. You’re in very good hands."
