Schedule a ConsultationCollaborative Writing
You have wisdom and expertise to share, but don’t have time to write a book. Or, you want to write a book because you know it will give you authority and credibility, but don’t even know where to start. You wish someone could write your book for you. Collaborative writing (sometimes called ghostwriting) is the perfect solution.
Coaching
Maybe you’ve been trying for a while to write a book, but keep getting stuck. Maybe you have ideas but don’t know how to structure them. My individual coaching program provides accountability, encouragement, and customized instruction, via monthly one-on-ones. You’ll go from “stuck” to finished draft in one year.
Self-Publishing
Self-publishing lets you tell your story your way. If you have a manuscript but need help getting it published, I provide editing, cover design, and formatting. I guide you through ISBN registration, and setting up your publishing imprint, guiding you through every step. You’ll go from manuscript to published book.
Developmental Editing
A developmental edit reviews your manuscript’s structure and flow. We check for clarity, consistency, and engagement, offering guidance to improve your book as a whole.
Ebook Writing
Need an ebook or lead magnet for marketing your business? I can write it for you, then put our team to work on layout and design to make sure your ebook stands out.
Proposal Writing
If you’re seeking a royalty publisher, you need a strong book proposal. I’ll create a solid proposal, based on your book idea. It will include book summaries, market analysis, sample chapters, and marketing plans to help you stand out.
