Publishing Startup & Platform Consulting

The publishing landscape is changing fast—new tools, new platforms, new expectations from readers and authors. If you’re building something in that space, you need more than theory; you need someone who understands both the creative side of books and the technical realities of digital production.I work with publishing startups, digital reading platforms, and small presses to design workflows, products, and experiences that actually work for readers, authors, and internal teams.

Product & Experience Strategy—Clarify your core offering, define your users (readers, authors, publishers), and map how content flows through your platform from manuscript to screen.
Workflow & Process Design—Build clear, repeatable production pipelines for EPUB, Kindle, and other formats — including documentation, checklists, and QA standards your team can follow.
Accessibility & Standards Consulting—Align your products and workflows with accessibility best practices (EPUB, WCAG, alt text, semantic structure) so your books and platforms serve all readers.
Tool & Vendor Guidance—Evaluate software, platforms, and vendors for conversion, distribution, and asset management — so you’re not reinventing the wheel or overpaying for the wrong tools.
Team Training & Mentoring—Help your in-house team or freelancers understand ebook standards, platform requirements, and how to think like both a publisher and a reader.
Launch & Roadmap Support—Co-create a practical, phased roadmap for your first launch or next product phase, with realistic timelines and priorities based on your actual capacity.
