Introducing the brand-new
Publishing Certification Training Program.
Why would you hand them over to someone else to publish their book when you did all the work to get them ready?
There are many other reasons why you want to hold on to your client and coach them through the writing and publishing process.
- Being a Book Publishing Consultant helps you create another stream of income to help you build a thriving practice. You get paid for coaching AND for publishing. You can even continue to generate passive revenue after your client has published their book.
- The publishing industry has exploded In the past decade. As a Publishing Consultant, you’ll be able to help your clients find the publishing option that best meets their needs, supporting them as they navigate confusing (and expensive!) options that can leave them vulnerable to making a costly choice that they can’t undo….
- As a Book Coach, you’ll be able to continue working with your client during the writing process. Your client will not have to convey or convince another party of what their vision is. There will be no picking up where you left off.
- Not only that, you’ll be able to best guide and support them during the book launch process, helping them take their published work to #1 status, or to simply share in the celebration of when they finally see all their hard work embodied in a beautiful book available to their loved ones and the world.

I’m Michelle Vandepas
Co-founder of GracePoint publishing and I have 24 years of experience in all aspects of publishing. As you can imagine, everything has changed in those years, and I’ve kept up with it all, the good, bad, and the confusing, so you don’t have to.
(Should I publish directly on Amazon or through a distributor?)
(How will I know how many copies of my book will sell?)
(If don’t know how to TikTok or selfie, am I doomed?)
I’ve helped authors with all types of publishing including getting agents, book deals, self-publishing, and getting out of contracts that no longer worked for them.
Some of our authors have had movies made about them and been interviewed on major media platforms, and some have gone on to build successful businesses.
This is me walking out of our building in Colorado Springs. Our team is partly in office, partly remote and some even hybrid! You are always welcome to stop by and have tea if you are in the area! (Karen took the photo! I love it)
However, sometimes writing and publishing your book is enough. I’ve had a client reach out after hearing her book saved someone from suicide. Another author is helping women who have experienced trauma in childhood. Another volunteers with foster youth.
No matter your background, inspiring story, or lack of writing skills ,you can become a publishing consultant and have great stories to share about your clients and their books.
