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. (Or, check out my FREE GUIDE5 Steps to Begin Writing Your Memoir—to help you get started right away! Click here to access it.)

  • 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.
