Work with Me

Writing a book is a dream that may cross a person’s mind, but when it implants in your heart, that’s when you know it’s greater than just an idea, and is truly part of your purpose here in this world.

I don’t take that lightly.

Part of my passion in what I do is driven by the belief that if a specific idea has landed on you, there’s a reason you were chosen to bring that story to life. Not only is there a reason why you need to write it, but there’s someone who needs to read it written exactly in the way that no one else except you can do.

More than likely you’re here because you already know that’s true, but now you’re looking for the way to actually get it done. You don’t want to wait any longer. You know now is the time.

My job and purpose in this world is to give you the right tools, options, strategies, steps, solutions, feedback, and coaching to turn that idea into a completed manuscript so that it can finally be published and shared with the world.

Right now, you’re a person with a book idea, or maybe you’re a writer with some of your manuscript written, but I’m here to tell you that you can be the published author of your dreams— with a powerful book you’re proud to share with the world!— no matter your current circumstances.

Working with me, you’ll go from just having an idea to having a completed book by the end and more confidence in your author journey ahead.

And I WANT to be on that journey with you, guiding you to reach every one of your goals and dreams on this incredible path. It’s what lights me up, and I guarantee (and my clients can tell you), you’ll be lit up as well when we work together, discovering a newfound passion and excitement for the process of writing a book that you may have never had before.

How? By working one-on-one with an experienced and award-winning author, book coach, and ghostwriter so you don’t have to go at it alone or feel alone.

When you work with me, I’m with you the whole way.

Unlike writing courses, workshops or conferences, your book coach or ghostwriter is in this with you for the long haul. Not only will you learn the structuring, storytelling, messaging, voice, tone, and delivery skills you need to write a book, but you’re guided through the entire journey of writing, publishing, and getting your book into the hands of those it was meant for.

Ways to Work With Me: 

I have three options available to meet you where you are in your book writing process. Take a look at the options below, including the extra information since we are 100% transparent in what we offer and our pricing.

I work primarily with those writing memoirs, inspirational, and self help books, but also work in the realm of certain fiction genres and will let you know if I think we’d be a great fit.

Book Coaching:
Writing the Book with a Seasoned Guide By Your Side

With book coaching, we work on elements of your book such as structure, voice, tone, message delivery, target audience connection, storytelling, industry expectations, and identify any gaps that may exist between the author telling what they know vs. what the reader still needs to be able to understand. We also set a timeline for when we want the entire book to be done, and I keep you accountable to the milestones we set.
