How we work together — and what it costs.
Most people who coach authors won’t tell you their prices until they’ve got you on a call. I’d rather just be straight with you, so you can decide with clear eyes.
Why I show a starting number.
Coaching with me starts at $1,500, and I put that in the open on purpose. You deserve to know whether we’re in the same ballpark before you ever fill out a form. A real number keeps both of us from wasting each other’s time.
What changes the number.
The price grows with the work. A writer with a finished, polished manuscript who just needs help publishing it well is a very different project from someone starting with an idea who wants me beside them the whole way. When we talk, I’ll listen to where your book is, tell you plainly what it would take, and quote you one clear price. No surprises later.
What’s always separate.
If we run ads for your book, that budget is yours and stays in your hands. I never mark it up or hide it. You decide what you spend, and you can stop anytime.
The free option never goes away.
If now isn’t the time, The Lightkeeper Path is free and yours to keep. Start there. Walk the road on your own. The door here stays open for whenever you’re ready.
A word for pastors and missionaries.
Ministry has been my whole life, and I know its budgets. If you’re a pastor or missionary with a book in your heart and a tight purse, just tell me. We’ll find a way. That’s a conversation, not a line item.
Common questions
How much does book coaching with Dr. Dan cost?
Coaching starts at $1,500, and I show that number on purpose so you know whether we’re in the same ballpark before you ever fill out a form. The final price depends on how far along your book is and how much you’d like me to carry — and we settle on one clear number together before you commit to anything.
Why does the price change from one author to the next?
The price grows with the work. A writer with a finished, polished manuscript who just needs help publishing it well is a very different project from someone starting with an idea who wants me beside them the whole way. When we talk, I’ll tell you plainly what your book would take and quote you one clear price — no surprises later.
Are advertising costs included in the price?
No. If we run ads for your book, that budget is always separate and stays in your hands. I never mark it up or hide it — you decide what you spend, and you can stop anytime.
What if I can’t afford coaching right now?
Then start with The Lightkeeper Path — it’s free and yours to keep. And if you’re a pastor or missionary with a book in your heart and a tight budget, just tell me. We’ll find a way. That’s a conversation, not a line item.
