1. What makes Timothy McCain different from other writing coaches or publishers?

Timothy is a recognized subject matter expert in developmental editing, messaging, and publishing strategy. He provides high-touch guidance that helps authors strengthen their message, structure their book, and position their content for long-term impact. His process blends professional publishing with strategic coaching, and every author receives a clear and confident path forward.

2. Do I need to have my book finished before working with you?

No. Timothy works with authors at every stage. You can have a complete manuscript, a partial draft, or only an idea. You will receive expert guidance on the right next step for your project.

3. I do not have anything typed or even a book title. Can I still start?

Yes. Many authors begin with only a concept or a desire to write. Timothy will help you discover your message, clarify your direction, and create a strong foundation for your book.

4. What happens during a 30-minute coaching session?

Your session is personalized to your goals. Timothy may help you with structure, clarity, outline development, storytelling, messaging, or publishing strategy. You will leave with clear direction and actionable next steps.

5. Are you a literary agent?

No. TMM Publishing is a professional publishing service, not a literary agency. We do not pitch manuscripts to traditional publishers, negotiate book deals, or collect commissions. You keep all of your rights and royalties.

6. Do you take any royalties from my book?

No. TMM Publishing does not take royalties, percentages, or ownership of your intellectual property. You keep all royalties and rights at all times.

If your story or imagination can impact others, we can help you publish it with excellence.

8. How do I know which publishing package is right for me?

Silver is ideal for authors who need editing, design, and professional publishing.

9. Can you help me if I have writer’s block?

Yes. Timothy specializes in helping writers overcome creative barriers, refine their message, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

10. How long does the publishing process take?

Publishing typically takes eight to twenty weeks, depending on editing needs, design complexity, and production timelines. Ghostwriting requires additional time. You will receive a personalized estimate during onboarding.

11. Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. TMM Publishing provides structured payment options, and financing such as Afterpay may be available depending on the service.

12. Do you work with authors who have dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, or other learning challenges?

Yes. TMM Publishing is intentionally friendly to authors with dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, and other learning or processing challenges. We offer clear communication and supportive guidance that meets you where you are. You do not need to be a perfect writer to work with us.

13. Do you work with authors outside your local area or outside the United States?

Yes. We work with authors across the United States and internationally. All coaching, communication, and publishing steps can be completed virtually.

14. Where will my book be available once it is published?

Your book will be set up for professional print-on-demand and online distribution. It will be available through major online retailers and global distribution channels.

15. What is your refund or rescheduling policy?

Because publishing involves significant planning and professional services, payments made toward packages are generally non-refundable once work has begun. Coaching sessions may be rescheduled with advance notice. We strive to work with authors in a fair and understanding manner.

16. Can you help me turn my book into a journal, workbook, devotional, or additional resources?

Yes. Many authors expand their message into companion journals, devotionals, workbooks, and teaching materials. TMM Publishing can help conceptualize, structure, design, and publish these additional projects.

17. I am not good at spelling or grammar. Can I still write a book?

Yes. You do not need perfect spelling or grammar to write a powerful and meaningful book. Many great authors are not naturally strong in grammar. Timothy’s expertise is helping you communicate your message with clarity and purpose. Our team handles the editing, polishing, and professional presentation of your book. Your job is to bring your story or your ideas. We will help shape them into something excellent.
