You’re writing the book — I’m here to help with what comes next.

Plot & Palette exists to give indie authors a clear, gentle way forward. Not a publisher — just someone who gets it. Your Way In is a soft step forward: a tailored plan to help you move toward your dream, one grounded step at a time.

I’ll cheer you on gently, tailor the information to who you are, and keep you from falling into the rabbit holes.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan — it’s your plan, built from what you need.

I’ll hand you the guide. You’ll decide when to start.
Your way in — when you’re ready. I’ll help with the first step. You take it from there.

Your full publishing guide — tailored tools, strategy, and support to carry you through.

Not a blueprint — a guide.

Every file is tailored to you, based on what you share. It’s a first step, not a guarantee — but it’s built with care and experience.

For indie authors, by one.

I know what it’s like to feel lost in it all. This isn’t theory — it’s personal, practical, and built from the ground up.

Soft support, no pressure

You won’t find shouting or “must-do” lists here. Just tools, paths, and quiet cheerleading when you need it.

Built for your pace.

There’s no timeline you have to follow. Use this as a map when you’re ready — one gentle nudge at a time.

Real tools, no rabbit holes.

Curated, filtered, and tailored to you — no need to chase every rabbit down the internet trail.

Your guide, not your gatekeeper.

This is your journey. I’m just here to hand you the first step — you decide where and how to go next.

Got a question?

Curious about the plans or unsure what fits you best?
I’m happy to help — just reach out and I’ll get back to you soon.

A few things you might want to know

Is this a guarantee for book success?
Nope. This is a starting point, tailored to you, built with care and insight. What you do with it is yours. I’m not here to hand you a formula, just a path forward.

Will you help me publish, upload, or promote my book?
Nope, but I’ll guide you toward tools and options that might fit. This isn’t a done-for-you service; it’s a done-with-thought guide. If you want to hire someone for hands-on help, I can suggest how to find them.

Can I message you after I get my PDF?
I’m happy to answer a few follow-up questions and cheer you on if I can. But ongoing support isn’t included by default. I’ll be in your corner — just know that the work is yours to carry forward.
