Mark Manson“Nathan has something to offer that 99% of others don’t. He is always professional and responsive, and his work is excellent. I’ve had thousands of people pitch me their services over the years, and from the moment I received Nathan’s email, it was clear that he got my site and my brand. “

Crisp. Wry. Confident. A voice that cuts right to the truth.

Book Landing/Sales pages:

This can become the HQ for this title and the one-stop-shop for everything about your book. One book, one URL.
A few more reasons to consider a dedicated landing page for your book:

  • Buying: Amazon? Barnes & Noble? Digital download? Audio book download? The trunk of your car? From this page, it’s available.
  • SEO: If you build it right, Google searches should end up with your page on top. Maybe even above Amazon and Goodreads. Then you have the power.
  • Mailing List: You can’t capture your fan’s email address on Amazon or Facebook. This will be the hub where you have direct access to your readers.
  • Reviews: Amazon, B&N, Google, a napkin. Where’s the best place to collect the best reviews for your book? On your book sales page.

 

Coaching and Consulting

So you want to narrate your own book? I can support you with that too. Many authors don’t realize (until it’s too late) that narrating is very different from recording. Of course anyone can hit record and read a book, but you want to take the reader on a journey, even in a work of non-fiction!

My background of theatre and acting, along with my experience of narrating will help you deliver your best performance possible.

Our conversations can cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • The simple setup to help you sound like a pro
  • Proper microphone technique and narration skills
  • Editing, proofing, and workflow
  • and more!
