Author & Book Coach

Ready to Simplify Your Author Journey?

I’ll help you develop a custom action plan
that lets you write with clarity & self-publish with confidence.

HEY THERE!

I know how challenging and overwhelming (and exciting!) writing your first book can be.

With 12 books now under my belt, I’m happy to share my process and my journey with you.

Writing a book doesn’t have to be as hard – or take as long – as you think.

God has given you a message for a purpose.

It’s time to take action and make a kingdom impact!

As your book coach,
I’m here to help you:

  • simplify the self-publishing process,

  • provide you with a custom action plan, and

  • fuel your faith along the way.

“Thank you for today! I always come away with soooo much! In fact I’m still trying to work through all the feedback I got last month!”

“I just want to thank you for all your hard work and help editing my book!  You made my job easier.  And thank you for all the little affirmative comments too, that was a boost!  It always helps when someone else points out confusing statements or stories so I can go back and reword them.”

Ready to jump start (or restart)
your book project?

Are you ready to stand out as a Christian writer?

Back in 2020, I received a very specific calling: “Call My writers.”

The verse 2 Corinthians 6:17 (NIV) also jumped out at me: “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.”

No other instructions.

Just “Call my writers” and to be separate.

So, I started The Inkwell (a virtual writing community) and the Ink and Impact podcast for nonfiction Christian writers.

It quickly became apparent that in addition to information, they need accountability and clarity to reach their publishing goal.

That’s why I also offer 1:1 Book Coaching sessions — to help nonfiction authors like you develop a custom, next-step action plan.

So what does all this mean for YOU?

It means that my resources and services will help you write and self-publish a God-honoring book without compromising your values and beliefs along the way.

 

It means that you can boldly stand out as a Christian writer and confidently market your book.

 

And it means that you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

 

Whether you’re just getting started or you’re stuck somewhere in the middle, I’m here to guide you through your author journey.
