help getting my DIY bedroom projects to the finish line

I've been writing & recording music as a hobby & outlet for 20ish years. I've felt compelled to start publicly releasing music over the past year or 2. I've got no interest or expectations in being successful, playing live, etc. Just feeling compelled to DO something with the songs I'm making.

I've only released a few songs & have pretty much stalled out. This is essentially an effort to try to get back into releasing.

I'm self-taught all th ... e way around & have been using Logic for 15+ years. But I only know enough to be dangerous, so I'm essentially looking for someone to partner with to help get my songs to the finish line. I'm thinking that would look like someone who can...

-mix, edit & master what I've put together in Logic

-giving thoughts & ideas on how to make what I've done better

Some of my songs can have many tracks, but probably no more than 15-20 key tracks. I'm guessing my lack of expertise leads to more tracks than I really need.

With this really just being a hobby of a 40-year-old guy with a family of 5, I don't have a crazy amount I'm able to invest in this endeavor. I have about 7 songs for my first EP that I'm hoping to put together, but not totally sure if I'll be able to afford all of that.

I'm not so sure that my music actually sounds like the following artists/bands, but these are some of my favorites if it's helpful to give direction on the kind of music I lean towards...

kevin divine

manchester orchestra

josh ritter

milk carton kids

phosphorescent

aunt Martha

typhoon

connor oberst

ben folds

I'm such a noob to the idea of collaborating with someone like this, but let me know if you've got any thoughts/interest.
