We're frequently asked if we consult for independent publishing, social media strategy and writing.​​​​

​

While we love helping writers achieve their publishing goals, we have extremely busy schedules and can only take on a few clients at a time. If you'd like to work with us please email info@swashbucklerpress.com

​

We also run semi-regular online pay-what-you-can workshops. To learn more, please check out the Beautiful Words Website

​

Our rates are as follows:

 

Ghost Writing (Fiction & Non Fiction)

Quoted on a case-by-case basis. Please contact for a conversation and a quote.

 

"Do I Have A Viable Book Idea?" Session 

You have a solid idea for a fiction or non fiction book but you don’t quite know what to do with it. Or maybe you would like to know if your idea is something that is publishable and marketable.  

​

Stay on Track Session

You keep starting to write stories but then get completely distracted by new ideas. You now have a rather impressive number of story beginnings but would like to finally, one day, write “the end.”

This session is about working out which project to focus on and forming a plan to get it finished.
