Publishing a book shouldn’t cost you your health, your creativity, or your will to write the next one. And yet most author marketing advice assumes you have unlimited time, endless energy, and a tolerance for burnout disguised as “hustle.”
Publish Without Burning Out is a practical, author-first launch system designed specifically for writers publishing with small presses and indie publishers—authors who want to show up professionally without lighting themselves on fire.
This is not a hype machine.
It’s a system you can survive.
A monthly, drop-in Q&A with the publisher of Unsolicited Press.
Publisher Office Hours is a listening-first, live group Q&A for writers who want clear, honest answers about small-press publishing—without committing to a consult.
You can come just to listen.
You can submit a question in advance.
You’re never required to speak.
This is about clarity, not performance.
Not everyone needs a consult.
Have questions about publishing? Or what to do next?
Ask a small press publisher—privately.
A short, honest diagnostic from the publisher of Unsolicited Press—without the pressure of a call.
Most writers aren’t stuck because they lack talent.
They’re stuck because no one has told them the truth.
Most writers don’t need a full consult.
They need someone to answer their actual questions—clearly and honestly—without turning it into a performance.
Publishing is full of vague advice, gatekeeping, and expensive mistakes. These strategy sessions are built for writers, editors, and small press publishers who want honest, practical guidance from someone actively working in independent publishing every day. Bring your manuscript, launch plan, publishing questions, small press idea, marketing struggles, or general literary existential crisis.
We can talk about:
traditional vs indie publishing
querying and submissions
distribution realities
building readership
small press sustainability
marketing that actually works
platform building without becoming a content machine
why books stall after publication
how to move forward strategically instead of reactively
Every session includes:
1-hour strategy session
personalized recap/action email
lifetime free submissions to Unsolicited Press
your choice of:
an extended feedback report ($25 value) with a future submission
OR one year of paid Substack access ($50 value)

Many authors want to maintain a social media presence during their launch season — but planning 12 weeks of posts across multiple platforms can be overwhelming and time-consuming.
This service gives authors a full 12-week content plan tailored to their book + a 30-minute strategy call to align tone, goals, energy, and platforms.
It’s affordable, ethical, and sustainable. It’s built specifically for writers who want a little more structure without outsourcing their entire marketing identity.
Plan your launch with a publisher, then implement it yourself with a complete toolkit.
$295
A complete, affordable, one-time publicity solution for authors.
Most authors are expected to market their own books, but the industry rarely teaches them how, and almost never in a way that feels human and sustainable.
The DIY Publicity Toolkit + Strategy Session is a hybrid offering created by Unsolicited Press for authors who want:
one-on-one guidance at the start
a clear, realistic plan
and a self-paced system they can run on their own
You get a 45-minute power session with the Publisher of Unsolicited Press plus a complete DIY publicity framework you can keep using for every book you write.
Stop spinning. Start moving.
Most writers get stuck because they can’t see what their manuscript needs next. The Manuscript Roadmap gives you a clear, strategic plan—created by a working publisher and developmental editor—so you can revise with confidence.
This is the direction you’ve been craving.
Three months. Real accountability. Real transformation.
This is for writers who are serious about revision: not dabbling, not dabbling, committing. We work in a small, intimate cohort of dedicated writers ready to reshape their manuscript into something powerful, cohesive, and alive.
Tuition: $2,100–$3,600, based on size of the project.
