Are you ready to be bold?
Through working with hundreds of authors, I’ve seen something incredible:
Authors begin the process with the goal of creating a book—and reaping the benefits this brings them.
Speaking on stages like TEDx and the Moth.
Enlisting passionate new clients to their work.
Spreading their story and message at a scale only a book can reach.
Sharing their stories and inner truths more openly with loved ones.
But over the course of our work together, they discover these benefits don’t lie in the distant future—their lives are transforming now.
Because the secret to making books is that the process forces you to become a better communicator.
Creating a book is the best practice I know for articulating your wisdom, witnessing your story, and standing bold in your truth.
These gains don’t just appear when you publish. They happen every day you create your work.
Don’t let your wisdom die with you. I can help you bring it to life.
