What the Publisher’s Diagnostic Is

Publisher’s Diagnostic is a short, email-only exchange.

You submit up to three specific questions about:

  • submissions

  • small press publishing

  • platform building

  • publicity

  • contracts

  • next steps

  • what not to do

Within 72 hours, you’ll receive a single, thoughtful response from the publisher of Unsolicited Press.

If a consult or SPPC would be useful, I’ll tell you.
If not, I’ll tell you that too.


What This Is NOT

This is not:

  • line edits

  • manuscript feedback

  • career coaching

  • a sales pitch

It is professional triage from someone who sees the patterns every day.


Who This Is For

Writers who:

  • feel stuck or unsure

  • have specific questions they can’t get straight answers to

  • want guidance before spending more money

  • prefer privacy over performance
