Author Consulting
“One day, you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.”
— Brené Brown
Are you looking for guidance on navigating the memoir writing and publishing journey?
(Then this is for you, my friend…)
If you’re a woman with a powerful story and a deep knowing that you’re meant to write a memoir—but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin (or simply need reassurance that you’re on the right path)—I’m here to help.
As an award-winning author of the memoir Douchebags to Diamonds, I’ll guide you through the writing and publishing journey with clarity and support, based on my own experience.
Whether you need a little encouragement or hands-on guidance through the entire process, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
How I Can Help You
-
Laying the Foundation – If you don’t know where to begin, I’ll guide you through the critical first steps to get your book idea structured and ready to develop.
-
Navigating the Publishing World – Whether you’re considering a ghostwriter, wondering if a pen name is right for you, or trying to make sense of the publishing landscape, I’ll help you make informed decisions.
-
The Writing Process – From overcoming writer’s block to establishing a consistent routine, I’ll help you build momentum and stay on track.
-
Emotional Support & Encouragement – Writing a book is deeply personal, and self-doubt can be paralyzing. If you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed, I’ve got you.
-
Editing, Formatting & Design – There are a lot of moving parts here. I’ll help you understand what to expect during editing, how to prepare for each phase, and how to create an eye-catching cover that stands out.
-
Book Selling Platforms – Not sure where to sell your book? I’ll break down the pros and cons of platforms like Amazon KDP (Amazon’s self-publishing platform for eBooks and print books), IngramSpark (global distribution), and other available channels.
-
Beyond the Book Launch – Your journey doesn’t end after publication. I’ll share what I learned from creating an audiobook (equipment, software, editing, and publishing), copyrighting your book, and expanding your author brand through opportunities like speaking and podcast interviews.
