WRITE YOUR BOOK. CHANGE LIVES. LEAVE YOUR LEGACY.

You have a story that needs to be told. Hard-earned wisdom that will inspire and transform lives. Writing your book isn’t about adding “author” to your resume. It’s about creating a legacy that will ripple across communities and leave a lasting impact on our world.

I know how overwhelming it can feel. I’ve lived the experience. The uncertainty, the doubt – it’s all part of the journey. With the right guidance, you can go from idea to reality. We’ll guide you in the creation of the greatest book you can imagine so that it will get it into the hands of those who need it most.

This isn’t just a book; it’s your soul.

HERE ARE A FEW TOOLS
TO HELP YOU GET THERE

PODCAST: DON’T WRITE THAT BOOK

No matter where you are in your book journey, listen to this podcast.

Seriously. My writing partner, AJ Harper, and I created the Don’t Write That Book Podcast so you can avoid the mistakes I’ve made (and trust me, I made all of them). There’s no sugarcoating. No perfect path. Just the real story of the author journey, and the ways you can travel it faster and more confidently.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Insider tips and practical guidance that demystify the writing and publishing process.
  • How to confidently navigate the writing journey, making your authorship achievable.
  • Strategies to deeply connect with your reader and keeps them talking.
  • And everything you can imagine about the author's journey that no one talks about.
