The Test Drive Mentoring Package

The Test Drive is Booktique’s one-on-one collaboration designed to give you clarity on your book project, marketing questions, or publishing options. It’s ideal for a specific project that can be completed in 4 weeks or a way to create an action plan so you can complete a longer-term project.

Mentoring Packages are subject to availability.
Preference will be given to clients who have completed a One-Off Consultation within the last 12 months, and those clients will receive a discount for their Mentorship Package fees.
Applications are required before acceptance. We want to make sure we are a good fit for you before processing any fees or scheduling your mentorship.
