It's been a long, lonely road.
Writing is a lonely business. You've received meager support from other writer friends, but the bottom line is there's only one way to do this:
butt in chair and write alone.
It took weeks, months, maybe even years.
You've always wanted to write. But you were busy: raising a family, working 40+ hours week, trying to make a good life for your family.
You scribbled little essays or poems and shoved them in a drawer.
This time is NOW. The kids are gone. The house is quiet. Your wrote that novel.
Who knew there would be so much to learn? There was structure and plot and theme. Then narrators, good and unreliable, Point of View, Pacing and so much more.
You did it! You plugged along, not sure exactly what you were doing, but you got the story down. Whew! What an accomplishment! You are amazing. Do you know that less than 1% of people that start to write a novel actually finish it?
It's been a long, lonely road.
What it feels like to accomplish this
Can you imagine?
The smell of the paper of YOUR book
The feel as you run your fingers over YOUR name and the title of YOUR book.
The look on your family and friends' faces when they first see YOUR book in print.
The excitement of seeing YOUR book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com and dozens of eBook distributors.
The taste of SUCCESS. You did it.

FAQ
What if I am stuck before it is finished?
You and every other author in the world, even the Stephen Kings and the Danielle Steels get stuck from time to time. That is why you get 20 hours of developmental edits include with this package. We've got you. Together we will pull it all together.
I've queried dozens of agents with no takers. I am so discouraged.
Totally understandable. The traditional market is brutal and they only accept a few books per agent. Publishing with a small press like Simon Publishing eliminates that stress and gets your book in your hand in six months or less.
I have heard horror stories about vanity presses
So have we and experienced it ourseleves. We all learned from our mistakes. A vanity press is where you pay thousands for your book with the stipulation that you must fill your closet with dozens of dozens of books that you may or may not be happy with. Simon Publishing uses Print on Demand so you only order the number of books your need at a time. And for a minimal fee, you can make changes down the road as many times as you like.
Do I get to talk to you in person or via Zoom?
Yes, of course. Before we even sign a contract, we'll connect in person or on Zoom to make sure all your questions are answered. If your manuscript is clean and ready to publish without extensive developmental editing, we will move you into a plan that better fits your needs.
