In our professional opinion desiring a coach produces the greatest results for the coachee. If you have become aware of undesirable results, disciplines, or thinking then coaching is an excellent option to pivot.
So, for this one, we will put the ball back in your hands. Do you desire a coach? If you do, pursue one!
Coaching is an unique partnership that enables the coachee become aware of limitations, develop a plan of action for success, execute and achieve expressed goals.
As an author, we’ve have specially trained and certified coaches/writers who work with writers who have found themselves stuck or unsuccessful in one or more phases of the author journey.
Over a 6-12 week journey (in most cases) the author and coach will have weekly one-on-one sessions driven by the author and their goals. Within this session the author will explore strengths, challenges and opportunities as it pertains to their goals. In follow-up to every session the author will create action items that support the accomplishment of their overall goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Editing
View the most commonly asked questions authors ask us about our editing services.
If you need additional assistance, please get in touch with us!
Developmental editing is a phase of the book editing process where editors provide a thorough assessment of an author’s content to help determine what it requires in order to be ready for publishing. This is a collaborative process between the author and editor that requires an open mind and patience.
The Developmental Edit Process Can Include:
- Clarifying intent and message to ensure that the subject matter is being communicated clearly to the audience for which the book is intended.
- Addressing various story/message element issues like gaps or inconsistencies that go against the flow of logic established by the story's plot or message.
- Identifying and resolving confusing dialogue, sentence structure/phrasing, and any other issues that arise in relation to story/message elements.
- Line edit help identify run-on sentences or clichés, sentence flow, make sure the tone is consistent, and fine-tune the word choice and syntax of your manuscript
- Proofreading to identify and resolve typos and grammatical errors.
- Author review and rewrite (as needed).
This process can take anywhere from 30-60 days and in some rare cases a little longer. The entire process is dependent upon the book's timeline, communication, commitment, follow-through, and availability of authors.
Line Edit: Works line-by-line, tightening up sentence structure so the language is clear and concise. They intently review how a writer’s word choice and syntax contribute to the tone or emotion of the content. A line editor is also concerned with the overall pacing and logical flow of the content.
Copy Edit: Concentrates on the language in a manuscript and assures it follows the rules of standard English, combing through the manuscript for typos and other mistakes before it goes to print.
Proofreading: Focuses on correcting minor errors and inconsistencies
Our CEO, Octoryia defines editing as “The advocate for your reader.” The role of the editor is to ensure that the intended purpose of your message is clearly and effectively communicated through your content.
Graphics may help sell books but it is content that makes the lasting impact. Honestly speaking, you can make a buck without making a difference. Editing makes all the difference on whether you are a novice or a super successful author.
Did you know that even bestselling authors still employ editors for their published work? Editing is a critical component that helps an author to grow and a reader to enjoy well-written, impactful content.

“If I Write It, They Will Buy It.”
Sounds nice? Yeah, it does but unfortunately, it’s not always the case. If you write and market it effectively they will buy it. That is the real truth. Did you know that the average author only sells less than 100 books in their authorpreneur career? To some, this may be a deflating fact to face. Our hope is that this knowledge will better empower you to begin thinking about and highly valuing the role of marketing in the success of your book launch.
Let me be clear, marketing is a requirement, not a suggestion. As an author, marketing is the vehicle that creates sales. I mean, you did write your book to generate revenue, right?
Marketing for an author can vary based on their goals, target audience, and power statement relevant to their book.

We make most marketing decisions based on the author's goals and objectives. Some authors can start pre-sales and promotions as soon as the book's concept is defined and the cover is designed.

This variation in results is based on messaging, content, timeline, commitment, and financial resources.

Our commitment to stick with you through all of the ups and downs is our number one distinction.
As an author, there will be different mental, emotional and personal hurdles that you may face in the long journey ahead. The temptation to doubt yourself, procrastinate, get off track, or even quit is very REAL.
This is where we make a huge difference to our authors. Dream That Big Publishing is not just interested in the idea of your book being published, we are also invested in you realizing your dream as an author and achieving your potential as an authorpreneur.

Dream That Big Publishing is a hybrid publishing company that offers the freedom of the self-publishing process accompanied by the expertise/support of a traditional publishing house, WITHOUT the rigorous vetting process or cutting into authors’ profits.

The publishing process is incredibly unique. It encompasses planning, writing, editing, designing and branding, formatting, marketing, and bringing your book to market. While the average book from start to finish takes between 3-6 months, this can vary from author to author or book to book.

ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number and is a 13-digit number that identifies published books. It is important to note that once an ISBN is assigned to a book, an ISBN can never be reused.
ISBNs are assigned by publishers.
An ISBN identifies the registrant (author), title, edition (if applicable), and format of products used by publishers, bookstores, libraries, etc.
ISBNs are important for ordering, sales reporting, and inventory control.
An ISBN increases the chances that your book will be found for purchase. Most bookstores will not feature or sell any book that is not first listed within their warehouse database. To get there, your book must have a unique ISBN. Dream That Big Publishing will ensure that you get an ISBN for your book!

THE 5 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT GHOSTWRITING:
There are many misconceptions surrounding ghost writing and what it entails. We do our best to bust those myths below:
Fact: Ghostwriting is a highly collaborative process that saves busy professionals time but requires consistent interaction, input, and feedback from the author.
Fact: The success of the ghostwriting process is heavily dependent upon what an author brings to the table, and how clear they are about their idea, message, as well as their desired results. Without a strong start, the process of book writing can be delayed, difficult, or even unsuccessful.
Fact: Ghostwriting is an investment that Dream That Big Publishing has fairly priced to fit your budget. If you are serious about publishing a book but aren’t strong in writing, are limited on time, or just need a partner to help you articulate your message then ghostwriting is an excellent option for you.

This ensures that your book is moving in the desired direction according to your authentic voice and vision.
