Author Mentorship
I am SO excited you're here! Do you have any idea what a major step this is? Lots of people think about writing a book or wish they were published authors, but only a handful are brave enough to put their buns in the seat and write their book!
​
I'm here to help you every step of the way.
​
Why is writing a book so cool?
-
Humans learn and connect with each other through stories and you sharing yours will have an impact on someone else.
​
-
You have a one-of-a-kind life with unique experiences to share and doing so is the most generous thing you offer. Plus, writing a book is about more than the finished product; it's what you learn about yourself along the way.
​
-
Getting published is a heck of a way to build your business and build authority in your field.
​
-
You create an important part of your legacy and contribute to expanding our culture.
​
-
You give interesting work to word nerds like me who get unusually jazzed when editing your text or figuring out the right strategy for publishing and marketing your book.

Build Your Online Author Platform

Leverage Your Book Sales
While few authors today make big money off book sales alone, there are lots of ways to leverage your story to build your dream life and business. Ask yourself what you want your book to DO for you. Will it help you build authority in your field or get you hired for international speaking gigs? Will it be part of a larger course or program? Maybe you just really want to tell your story and could use some guidance figuring out what to do next. I'm here for all of it and will make sure your book creates new opportunities and connections.

How does it work?
Working with authors one-on-one is an intimate process in which I fully invest myself, which is why I charge a monthly retainer fee and only work with a few select authors at a time. For most authors, fees begin at $2500/month but may be more dependent upon the urgency and scope of your project.
​
How long does it take? That also depends on how much time you have in your schedule to consistently invest, if you're starting from scratch or already have an outline or rough draft, etc.
​
In our initial consultation, we'll discuss your goals and expectations so we both feel 100% thrilled with your personalized plan and know it is a sure win!
