How to Publish Quiz
quoteI had the pleasure of working with Walt and Five Rainbows Services as we prepared to launch the first book in our Horse Sense and Cents™ series. It was wonderful to have such a dedicated, knowledgeable and thorough coach as I traversed the myriad aspects involved in professional book publishing. Without his guidance, it would have been a much more difficult and stressful project — with opportunities lost along the way due to inexperience. An added plus was his horse background and the associated willingness and ability to make content recommendations that improved the series strategy. If you’re serious about your book(s), putting Walt on your team for a launch is one of the most important investments you’ll make as you set your sights on success.

quoteWalt gives the clearest instructions I've ever encountered in over 200 hours of undergraduate and graduate studies and countless IBM in-service classes. His weekly instructions respected my ambitions and abilities and the necessities of the trade. He pointed out weaknesses and offered fixes rather than merely industry platitudes.

You've read the books and everything you can find online about publishing and/or self-publishing but are now more confused than ever. How would you like a personal mentor to help you select the best route to publication for you and your book and to guide you step-by-step through the maze?

Look no further. Publisher Walt Shiel is here to help. Walt has been writing books and magazine articles for almost 20 years and has been a publisher for the five years. He is also a member of the board of directors for the Upper Peninsula Publishers & Authors Association and has been presenting publishing guidance to its members for the past several years. Walt makes it his business to know what's going on in the world of publishing and self-publishing and consistently searches out ways for self- and micro-publishers to gain advantages through the use of technology and online opportunities.

Five Rainbows offers a complete 20-step mentoring program to take you from your finished manuscript to a self-published book. We will tailor your program to meet your goals and needs and to provide the extra assistance you want and need. Our package prices include a series of emails (typically sent weekly, but the schedule can be adjusted to meet your particular schedule) that will:
  • Explain in detail exactly what you need to do in each step
  • Provide links to all the online and offline resources you will need
  • Suggest books pertinent to your immediate needs and others for additional background
  • Provide background information to expand your knowledge of publishing and book production
If you study the material and complete the steps as they are presented, everything you need to do will be done when it must be done. The program includes one hour of consultation (by phone or email) each week. Additional consultation is available at our standard hourly rate.

Our initial consultation will determine exactly what you need and propose a schedule to achieve your goals and schedule. This initial consultation is free with no obligation.

What if you only need mentoring through one or just a few of the many steps or some pointers to help make the right choice at a particular decision point? Call us toll-free at 866-341-3705 to discuss what you need. The initial consultation, as always, is free. We can offer specific mentoring to help you over those rough spots. Don't waste time and money with false starts and expensive mistakes. Let Walt be your personal publishing mentor.
