What Makes This Coaching Different?

💼 Business-first, author-centered — Profitability without sacrificing creativity
📊 Strategy over trends — Decisions backed by numbers, not hype
🧭 Customized publishing paths — Built around your goals and constraints
🤝 Team-focused growth — Scale sustainably, not solo forever

This is not about chasing virality or following someone else’s blueprint.
It’s about building an author business that works for you.

What You’ll Walk Away With

✔ A clear, customized publishing roadmap
✔ A profit-focused pricing and budgeting strategy
✔ Confidence in your publishing decisions
✔ Systems to support growth and consistency
✔ A plan to build and manage your author team
✔ A business mindset that supports longevity

This Is Not for Everyone

This coaching is not a fit if:

  • You’re only interested in publishing as a hobby

  • You want shortcuts, hacks, or overnight success

  • You’re unwilling to treat your writing like a business

But if you’re ready to take ownership of your career—and make strategic decisions that support both creativity and income—this is for you.

Why This Works

Because it’s not based on hype.

It’s based on:

  • Understanding the indie publishing ecosystem

  • Making decisions that protect margin and time

  • Building systems instead of chasing trends

  • Creating a career that can evolve with you

Your books are valuable.
Your time is valuable.
Your strategy should reflect that.

  • An introductory 20 minute session to assess where you’re at and how I can help you meet your goals.

    If it’s a good fit for both of us, we’ll go from there.

  • Have most of this figured out but feeling a little stuck? Book a 1 hour call and I’ll answer all of your questions.

  • If you know you’ll need ongoing advice, or you have more questions than can fit in one call, book this pack of five sessions at a discounted rate.

    Sessions can be booked bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed.

  • This is the best deal offered. 10 one hour sessions for $750. Sessions can be scheduled bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed.
