Author, Publisher, and Your Publishing Partner

Meet Dave Palmer

Black quotation marks.

When I published my first book, I trusted a ‘hybrid publisher.’ They overpromised, underdelivered and took control away from me. I built Dave Palmer Consulting so no independent author ever has to go through that again. Our mission is simple: honest guidance, beautiful books, and total author control.
