Work with us
You want to self-publish a book, but…
The process is confusing.
Editing, cover design, ISBNs, marketing… there’s a lot that goes into publishing a book. It helps to work with a book coach that knows the whole process.
Writing isn’t your forte
You could share your ideas for hours, but you struggle when it comes to writing them down. You need help organizing your thoughts and putting them into words.
You don’t know where to start
What chapters should you include? Should you outline it first? How? Writing a book is like nothing you’ve done before, so you aren’t sure how to properly begin.
You don’t know who to trust
Publishing is too large of a project to choose the wrong partner. You want to work with an experienced book coach who can give you expert recommendations.
As a book coach, ghostwriter, and two-time author, I know from experience that self-publishing can feel like a full-time job. My team and I are here to make publishing your book easy, efficient, and stress-free.
Hundreds of authors have turned ideas in their heads into successful books with the help of my team. See your book come to life in as little as 6 months.
