Dragonfly Publishing
MONTHLY 1:1 COACHING
Dragonfly Publishing’s Self-Publishing Coaching Programme is a Zoom-based coaching service launching in January 2027 designed to guide authors through the major stages of self-publishing while enabling them to complete the practical work themselves.
Each monthly 2-hour Zoom session focuses on the next publishing stage in the pathway, demonstrates the relevant processes, answers questions, and sets clear actions for the month ahead.

A good level of IT confidence, particularly with Microsoft Office, especially Microsoft Word, and applications such as Canva, Instagram and Facebook.
-
A practical, have-a-go attitude and willingness to complete tasks independently between coaching sessions.
HOW IT WORKS
-
One individual Zoom coaching session of approximately two hours each month.
-
The author remains responsible for completing the work between sessions; the coach provides guidance, demonstrations, feedback and troubleshooting.
-
Each session ends with a practical action plan so the author knows what needs to be completed before the next session.
-
The pace can be adjusted where a particular publishing stage takes longer than expected, while keeping the overall sequence of the Dragonfly Publishing process.
-
The first session costs $150. Each monthly session thereafter costs $100 (inc GST). Payments must be made in advance.
