Barbara Brabec's Telephone Consulting Service for authors, self-publishers, and home business owners

Affordable and practical help from an experienced business pro—as near as your telephone!

COULD YOU USE A LITTLE "hand holding" as you begin a new business at home?

Would you like to bounce your ideas off me as you prepare to diversify an existing home business or move into a new field of endeavor?

Do you have questions you can't seem to find answers to? Do you need ongoing help as you grow your business? I can help you with all of the above.

"It is such consolation to know there is someone to call," says one of Barbara's clients.

REMEMBER: If you're concerned about something or need a quick answer to a nagging problem, help is as near as your telephone—and for as little as $20 (see right).

SPECIAL HELP FOR AUTHORS

IF YOU'VE WRITTEN A BOOK you want to self-publish, having someone to talk to who has done what you're still dreaming about doing could make all the difference. See below for Barbara's affordable telephone consulting service.

If you are interested in having Barbara critique your manuscript, see her Book Manuscript Critiquing Service.

IF YOU'RE AN AUTHOR with a contract from a trade book publisher, and you need help in understanding all the legalese in it, see Barbara's special Author-Publisher Book Contract Consulting Service.

OVER MY LIFETIME of professional business writing and publishing, I've interviewed hundreds of home-business pros and other experts for my books. I've also communicated with thousands of business beginners and established entrepreneurs and authors at home-business conferences and in my day-long seminars and workshops, as well as by mail, telephone, and email. (See my business bio here.)

Because I've been self-employed for most of my adult life and have heard countless tales of what has worked and what hasn't, I can quickly give you needed answers and offer insight on special home business problems you may have. A short phone consult could quickly confirm that you're on the right track or alert you to some things you may have overlooked and need to investigate further. I may also be able to give you leads to helpful Web resources or people you ought to contact. (See what some of my satisfied clients have said.)

Consulting Fee Options

$20 for fifteen minutes - for some quick answers
$35 for thirty minutes - recommended for most clients
$60 for one hour - when you need a lot of help

I generally limit telephone consults to weekdays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. (CST), but will accommodate individuals whose job necessitates a consult after five or on a Saturday.

TO GET STARTED, email me about with information about what you want to discuss, how much time you want to reserve for the consultation, and what days or times are good for you to talk.

If I believe I can be helpful to you, I'll get back to you with one of those days/times that also works for me and ask for your PayPal email address so I can invoice you in advance of the consultation.

If you live in a geographical area served by my long-distance provider (see below), and have paid the consulting invoice before the confirmed consultation time, you will hear from me at that time at the number you provided. (Consultation time can always be increased if necessary.) If you do not live in one of the following areas, you will have to stand the expense of the telephone call:

Continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
