Consulting
Getting Started Creating a Book
We know exactly how challenging it feels to sit down and put your unique ideas, stories, thoughts, and life experiences on paper. Defeating the mental battle of distractions and procrastination is often the greatest obstacle preventing many would-be authors from reaching their goals. Your book publishing dreams do not have to get buried under the stress and anxiety of what may feel like an overwhelming process.
We help you develop your ideas and thoughts into a story that reflects its unique vision and purpose. We believe writing a book is a beautiful gift offered to our readers. Developing your thoughts and ideas into a unique manuscript is uncovering a treasure buried within you. The pages have already been written, and the story told. It is only a matter of bringing your story to the surface. We help you do this by providing support, encouragement, valuable insight, and experienced advice.
The first consulting session is $250.
It takes great courage and determination to take the first step towards your goal. However, when you do, you are not alone. We are here to meet you wherever you are in the process and coach you through the big picture and smaller, individual steps along the way.
