Services That Help You Build A Sustainable Indie Author Career
The Author Career Reset
$597
I'll find exactly what's broken in your author career and give you a written plan to fix it.
You've been doing the work. Writing the books. Showing up. But something isn't clicking — the sales don't match the effort, the strategy feels scattered, and you're starting to wonder if the problem is you.
It’s probably not—at least not the way you think. It's probably structural.
And I can find it.
Who It's For:
You feel stuck, scattered, or burned out
You have at least one published book
You're serious about building a real career, not just a hobby
You want clarity on what to fix first — not another course or productivity hack
Who It's NOT For:
Authors who haven't finished a manuscript yet
Authors looking for line editing or craft feedback
Anyone looking for a quick fix or magic formula
Now, look, if this is you, I can still help. Fill out the form and just say, “something else” and tell me what’s ailing you. It might be this package or something like it. That’s fine.
What's Included:
A pre-session intake so I understand your situation before we talk
A 90-minute strategy session via Zoom — just you and me
A written Author Architecture Report delivered after the session: your diagnosis, 3 priority actions, and a 90-day roadmap
A 30-minute follow-up call at the 2-week mark to make sure you're on track
Outcome: You'll know exactly what's holding your career back and have a written plan to fix it — built for your specific archetype, your genre, and your life.
“Frankie's assessment of the first book of my trilogy, The Alexandria Cypher, gave me the strategic clarity I needed to reposition the book with confidence. Her insights were sharp, actionable, and exactly what an indie author needs.”

Author Positioning Engine
$1,250
Stop guessing where your book fits. I'll show you — with data.
Your book might be brilliant. But if it's sitting in the wrong category, targeting the wrong comps, and speaking in language that doesn't match your actual reader's search behavior — the right people will never find it. That's not a quality problem. It's a positioning problem. And I solve it.
Who It's For:
Indie authors with at least one published book that isn't selling the way it should
Authors with a backlist that needs strategic repositioning — new blurbs, keywords, comps, and market direction
Authors entering a new genre or transitioning from one audience to another
Authors who've tried new covers, ads, and price changes without a clear strategy behind them
Authors who want someone to DO the analysis, not teach them how
Who It's NOT For:
Authors who haven't published yet
Authors looking for developmental editing or craft feedback
Authors who want ongoing marketing management — this is the strategy, you execute it
What's Included:
Market Position Analysis — where your book actually fits, backed by revenue data
Reader Profile — who's buying books like yours, what they search for, what language they use
Comp Author & Title Analysis — validated by current earnings, not just name recognition
Blurbs Rewritten for Your Actual Reader — built from review analysis and comp language
Keyword & Metadata Strategy — for every vendor you publish on
Cover Assessment — is your cover signaling the right reader?
Content & Marketing Language — positioning statements, social media angles, newsletter themes
A 60-minute delivery call to walk you through the findings
A 30-minute follow-up call at 30 days to check your implementation
Outcome: A comprehensive strategic document — typically 20-30+ pages depending on how long your series is — that you can execute on immediately and reference for months. No guessing. No more throwing spaghetti at the algorithm.
“Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on my website, covers, branding and career, Frankie! I'm energized with actionable steps that I know will keep me from straying from my publishing goals and help me focus my efforts on tasks that will push me forward. I will highly recommend your author career strategy sessions to my author clients in the future!”

Story Stamina Intensive
$3,000
Rebuild your author career from the foundation up. In 6 weeks.
You've been publishing for a while. Maybe years. The books are there. The backlist exists. But the career feels like it's running on fumes or you came back from a long break. The systems that got you here stopped working, and adding more effort isn't fixing it. You don't need another productivity hack.
You need a story systems architect.
Who It's For:
Mid-career indie authors with multiple published books who feel like the career has stalled
Authors who've burned out at least once and need to rebuild without repeating the same patterns
Authors who are done guessing and ready to redesign their entire production and publishing system
Authors who want structural architecture for their career, not motivational coaching
Who It's NOT For:
New authors still writing their first book — start with the Career Reset
Authors looking for accountability check-ins — this is strategic architecture, not cheerleading
Authors who aren't ready to make real changes to how they work
What's Included:
Diagnose your breakdown layer — where and why things stopped working
Full audit of your author business structure
Rebuild your production and release rhythm around your actual creative architecture
Align your story strategy with market positioning
Design a 6-12 month execution plan you can sustain
Build systems to prevent the burnout that brought you here
(6) 40 min check-in sessions
Outcome: In 6 weeks, you walk away with a completely rebuilt author business — production system, marketing strategy, and sustainability plan — designed for who you actually are as a creator. Not a generic blueprint. Yours.
This is not accountability coaching. This is structural architecture for serious indie authors.
