Do you want to WRITE and PUBLISH a book, but…

  • Don’t have the time?
  • Don’t know how?
  • Need to know your options?
  • Don’t know your next steps?
  • Want to make sure it’s “world class?”
  • Not sure what’s stopping you?

If you’ve dreamed of having a book that will take your life or business to the next level or even build a career as an author, I can guide you or perform the actual services.

Amazing

… Then I thought, Rodney would be the one to know what to do. Rodney is an amazing ghostwriter, editor, and publisher who I’ve worked with for years. What he doesn’t know about creating and launching books on Amazon, Ingram Spark etc., is not worth knowing.

I can help with as MUCH or as LITTLE as you NEED.

Hello, AUTHOR!Yes, you!

I’m Rodney Miles. As with anything, insight, guidance, and inspiration make all the difference in the world. You get those things by hiring or learning from an expert. And we’re not just talking about your results, we’re talking about your experience getting there. I think you should enjoy a healthy process as well as great results…

OMG!

Oh my God, I just briefly scanned the book, and I am so in love! You’re f***ing nailing it! I can’t thank you enough for making my vision come to reality.

After being involved in over 300 books, I now serve authors in five ways:

  1. My BOOK, The Book Dude’s Guide to Self-Publishing, Book 1: The Modern Author. You can get this FREE as a PDF or purchase from your preferred online retailer or order at your favorite bookstore. CLICK HERE for more info.
  2. Listen to or watch The Modern Author PODCAST, going live in 2025! (If interested, sign up in the footer below for my email newsletter).
  3. Book a 30-minute private CONSULTATION. I no longer offer free intro calls and have limited availability. What I do offer is a 30-minute initial project consultation for $75 which I credit back if we work together. In this session you can share your project ideas and I can share advice and possibilities you may not be aware of, followed by a custom suggested project plan within 24 hours after our call. CLICK HERE to schedule a day and time good for you.
  4. HOURLY SERVICES, drawing on my FIFTEEN YEARS of experience and love for the business (I’m a bibliophile), doing all the heavy lifting, freeing your creativity and time. I love working on ANY kind of book, and this can include web design for authors, platform development and growth, podcast appearances and publicity, and more. To meet, determine your needs, and get an estimate of hours and steps on your own customized project plan, CLICK HERE to schedule a private, 30-minute consultation to get us started. (Hourly services subject to availability.)
  5. FULL CUSTOM COLLABORATIONS, where we design a COMPLETE book, platform, and publicity plan (or whatever parts of that process you like) based on YOUR DREAM, YOUR TIMELINE, and even YOUR BUDGET. See the SERVICES page for more information, and again, book your private consultation HERE.

I’m glad you found me, and I hope we get to meet and talk about your ideas and even your DREAM of becoming a full-time author. I need to know I like your project just as much as I hope you’ll trust me with your dreams of a book. I know how books change lives and make dreams come true. And when you’re ready, check out my book, podcast, community, or hire me as your coach or collaborator.

Books change lives, for authors as well as for readers. It would be a privilege to be involved in yours in any way I can. ~ Rodney

Results

RESULTS

I PRIDE MYSELF on the results of a project, and I see them as three types:

  • AN EYE-OPENING, FUN, MEMORABLE PROCESS which often leads to greater understandings of oneself, one’s life or business, new clarity, and renewed purpose and excitement for life and living.
  • A “HEALTHY” AND “SUCCESSFUL” BOOK you are proud of (and can earn income from) the rest of your life. A “healthy” book actually sells and gets read, and a “successful” book accomplishes the goals you had in mind when you first dreamed up the idea of having a book.
  • A NEWLY ENABLED AUTHOR who can now leverage and enjoy greater credibility and reach, with new opportunities afforded by a healthy and successful book.

Add to that when projects are “over” (I am always interested in the long-term success of you and your book), we are usually good friends, and that about sums up why I love my job so much. I’m not looking for a million clients. My ideal is that my small network of author-client friends grows through the years, as do our careers.

It’s more fun that way. And when I see you unboxing your first print copy, proudly signing books, appearing on television and radio with your book of expertise, reaching more people with your cause or message, or maybe just proudly holding your memoir or happily reading your children’s book to your child or grandchild, I have to think Emerson would be proud. I know I am.
