No. This is a real consultation — not a sales pitch. You’ll get honest answers, professional insight, and space to ask what you need. If you decide to work with Griot Publishing afterward, that’s your choice — but the goal of this session is to help you move forward, not pressure you.
Absolutely. Whether you’re just starting or stuck somewhere in the middle, the consultation is designed to meet you where you are. You don’t need to have everything figured out — that’s what the session is for.
For the 90-minute session, yes — I’ll review your manuscript before we meet so we can go over it together. For 15- and 30-minute sessions, we can discuss your idea or specific sections, but a full read-through would require a longer session or editorial service.
You’ll leave with clarity, recommended next steps, and a better understanding of your publishing options. If you decide to move forward with Griot Publishing, your consultation fee (for paid sessions) will be credited toward your service package.
