"I felt extremely vulnerable because it was my whole heart, but Heather’s support made the journey incredible."

When Heather read my book, it was clear she would be an excellent partner because she not only read it, she felt it and saw how important it was to me. As we worked together, my excitement continued to grow, and when it was published, I felt extremely vulnerable because it was my whole heart. Heather validated the quality of it and of me, joining the vision of my dream, and helped me realize what a gift this book could be to anyone.

Frequently Asked questions

Indie publishing means you’re working with an independent publisher like Hezzie Mae, where you keep creative control but have a professional team supporting you.

Unlike traditional publishing, you don’t have to give up control on decisions like the cover design or editing. And unlike self-publishing, where you do it all yourself, we handle the technical aspects and guide you through the entire process.

Essentially, you get the best of both worlds: expert help with the freedom to tell your story your way.

Absolutely! Most of our authors aren’t professional writers and many have never written anything in their life. What they all have in common is that they’re passionate individuals with a powerful story to share.

So not to worry. We provide guidance and support with writing, editing, and organizing your ideas so your message comes across in the best way possible. Your voice and story are what matters most, not your innate writing ability.

We get it—self-publishing can be a maze of overwhelming tasks, and it’s hard to do it all alone while also creating a high-quality, engaging book.

At Hezzie Mae, you’re not on your own. You’ll have a dedicated team walking you through every step, handling the technical parts, and making sure your book is polished and professional, from editing to design and beyond. We’ve got your back.

Hezzie Mae pours an incredible amount of love, attention, and one-on-one support into every project.  This isn’t about churning books out into the world—it’s about giving you an experience that honors your story, your creativity, and your vision with the care it deserves.

We only take on a select number of authors at a time so we can dedicate ourselves fully to each project. The personal, hands-on approach we offer means we’re with you through every step—planning, writing, editing, designing, and beyond. To provide this level of guidance and support, the investment reflects the deep care and attention your story will receive.

The number of sales does not define the worthiness of your dream. Honestly, you might not even want to market your book, and that’s completely okay. If you’re our kind of people, publishing your story is about more than sales—it’s about personal growth, leaving a legacy, and fulfilling a lifelong dream.

I suspect that if you’re asking this question, it likely stems from feeling vulnerable about investing in yourself, as if the publishing process will only be validated if you make your money back. We don’t think of it like that. We think of it more like investing in a once-in-a-lifetime trip that you’ve been dreaming of for years. That’s intrinsically worthy, right, even though there’s no promise of financial return?

That said, if you do want to market your book, Hezzie Mae will support you every step of the way, helping set you up for success and ensuring your book has its best shot at reaching the audience it deserves.

You’re in the driver’s seat! We’re here to provide expert guidance and take the weight off your shoulders, but you make the final calls on everything, from cover design to content. We work with you to ensure your book is high-quality and engaging while your vision shines through in the final product.

It varies depending on where you are in the process and how much support you want to invest in, but we work hard to streamline everything so you can focus on your story while we handle the rest.

Our planning and publishing processes are designed to minimize overwhelm, and we’ll help you set a realistic timeline that works for you. We are NOT about deadlines and rushing things. We’re all about providing a stress-free, spacious journey.

Nope, everyone we work with starts with the Let’s Fly Book Blueprint™, and there are some wonderful benefits for you:

It’s your chance to get a feel for how we work together, with no strings attached. If it doesn’t feel right, you can step away before committing to anything bigger.

It lets me dive deep into your story and your project, which helps me give you an accurate quote and avoid any surprise costs down the line.

And if we do move forward, the cost of the Blueprint will be credited toward the full package, so it’s not an extra expense.
