EnglishHow to Contact Warwick Associates and Whether the First Consultation Is Free
Updated
Warwick Associates offers a free first half-hour consultation, and you can reach the firm either by phone or by submitting a project description through its response form. The office is located at 18340 Sonoma Highway, Sonoma, California 95476, and the company also maintains a Facebook page for updates.
Ways to Get in Touch
The site lists two main paths for starting a conversation:
- Contact the office directly — the Contact page is the entry point for general inquiries.
- Submit the response form — described as a way to "tell us about your project." This is the better option if you want to give background on your manuscript, title, or campaign before a call.
There is also a separate Manuscript Guidelines page, which is relevant if you are approaching the firm as a self-publishing author rather than as a publisher or distributor.
What the Free Consultation Covers
The site states plainly: "the first half-hour consultation is free." That is the only pricing signal on the page — no rates, packages, or retainer figures are published, so any cost beyond the initial 30 minutes has to be discussed directly with the firm.
Use the free half hour to establish fit. Warwick Associates describes itself as a full-service publishing consulting firm, so the conversation can span several stages depending on where you are:
| Your situation | What the firm says it handles |
|---|---|
| Self-publisher with a manuscript | Manuscript development through printed book, distribution, sales, and publicity |
| Publisher or distributor | Book sales support, marketing, and book launch campaigns |
| Author with an existing title | Publicity campaigns for new or backlist titles |
| Seeking a publisher or distribution | Help identifying a publisher or distribution channel |
Who the Firm Works With
Warwick Associates says its core expertise is in "spiritual, inspirational, metaphysical and 'mission driven' publishing," and it notes over 20 years in the industry. It also lists law, computing, real-estate, business, education, health, and autobiographical genres among the areas it has served.
That specialization matters when you decide whether to reach out: if your book sits in the mind-body-spirit space, the firm's stated focus and its client list (titles from publishers such as New Page Books, Muse Harbor Publishing, and Yellow Hat Publishing) are directly relevant. If your book is in another category, the site indicates the firm has worked in those areas too, but the emphasis is clearly elsewhere.
A Practical Sequence
- Decide whether you are contacting them as a self-publisher, an author with a finished book, or a publisher/distributor — the services differ.
- Submit the response form with a short description of your project, or use the Contact page if you prefer to call.
- Prepare for the free half-hour by having your manuscript stage, target audience, and timeline ready.
- If you are self-publishing, review the Manuscript Guidelines page before the call so you know what materials the firm expects.
One caveat worth noting: the site does not publish service pricing, turnaround times, or a guarantee of acceptance. The free consultation is the mechanism for getting those answers, so treat it as an information-gathering step rather than a commitment.
