One-to-One Consultations
This is for writers who have questions about publishing or publishing-related issues. The idea is to give you the information you need to achieve your publishing goals.
​
Here are some areas I can help with:
​
-
Pitching agents & publishers
-
Landing a publishing contract
-
Digital platforms / author presence
-
Book marketing
-
Traditional and Self-publishing
​
There are two options: a 1.25-hour consultation and a 30-minute consultation on Zoom or by phone.
My name is Julianne Ingles and I'm the director at Guts Publishing. ​We've had a lot of success with our books including features in The Guardian, BBC Culture, The Scotsman, Stylist, BBC One, BBC Big Scottish Book Club, and more. In 2021, I was endorsed by Arts Council England for being a talent and leader in the publishing sector .

Testimonials
"As an author with five books under my belt, I went in with some skepticism: would Julianne be able to identify blockages to placing my memoir that I could not see? The unequivocal answer was YES.
​
Julianne suggested rewriting my prologue so that it more clearly 'raised the narrative stakes' of the book; this shift articulated and solved a misgiving I hadn't been able to pinpoint. Julianne also helped me see that I had unconsciously built in 'limitations' which influence how I pitch the book to agents and publishers. I have now jettisoned these limitations and am constructing a new query letter. I am back on the horse, thanks to Julianne!"
