Lost your creative spark? Not sure what to do?
Let me help you find greener pastures.
Are you feeling burned out?
Tired of working to keep up with impossible standards?
Today’s publishing paradigm is broken! And it’s hurting authors.
I help authors communicate easier by connecting their creative spirit with practical action. To do this, I use my over two decades as a published author to create services designed to reduce overwhelm and keep authors focused on what matters to them in order to cultivate creative wellness, prevent and overcome burnout, and create their own publishing career so they can thrive as authors.
Discover your strengths and what’s working for you.
Get help with technical things like your website and newsletter to take more OFF your plate.
Learn to love writing again and jump over any obstacles in your way.
The truth is
The current publishing paradigm treats books like “widgets” produced in a factory and authors like assembly line workers.
That’s a recipe designed to create chronic stress and burnout!
And for authors chronic stress causes
Loss of joy and diminished creativity
Feeling like you have to do more with less resources
Imposter syndrome
Health issues
(and yes, burnout!)
You could stay stuck on the write – publish – promote treadmill and get (or remain) burned out OR YOU COULD
craft the publishing path that works for you and keeps you telling the stories you were meant to tell.
Let’s start this transformation by

Your quest to find greener pastures begins by booking a free call.

The Truth About Being Everywhere

Take A Break With Transition Tasks
I don't talk a lot about productivity very often because I don't feel that it's an end-goal in and of itself. However, there is something that I've learned over the past year that has really helped with my productivity and the way I feel about my writing. That trick...
Selling Systems vs. Creating Systems (of Creative Care)
I subscribe to a lot of newsletters, in part because a lot of individuals are doing some amazing things within the writing community. It's innovative; it's interesting, and as someone who has been both on the publisher and on the author side of this industry for a...
You Can’t Do the Wrong Thing
Authors face a lot of self-doubt and fear. One of the biggest questions authors ask themselves--and I'm no stranger to this one either--is am I doing the right thing? We worry about our marketing strategy, whether we're not doing enough or not enough of the right...
Books, Lies, and Black Friday
My inbox started to fill on Monday with the Black Friday sales. Today, I had to laugh when I got an email from a company that said it was the "last days" to buy something at 50% off, because you know what? They sent an email last week that said it was my final...
