Publishing Consultancy Service

The ASA offers members access to a Publishing Consultancy Service, a one-on-one consultation with an industry expert who can provide you with tailored advice about any aspect of the publishing industry.

This service is ideal for those who are looking for someone to help guide them through key career decisions, taking into account all of their unique circumstances as a creator. By way of example:

  •  

ASA members may request a consultation with one of the ASA’s recommended publishing experts. The individual consultation may take place over the telephone, Zoom or email. The fee for a one hour consultation is $302.50 (GST inclusive).

The consultation may be extended beyond one hour at a cost of $302.50 per hour, if both you and the consultant agree on the need for extra time.

This service is only open to ASA members. Not a member? Join here.

If you have a specific question you need answered, use the ASA’s free members-only Advice service here.
