Are you looking for a book Shepherd for your nonfiction book?

Let’s Get your Book Published

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of self-publishing choices you have to make?

As a fellow author I’ve been in that same position, but during the past decade of publishing my own travel guides, how-to books about travel writing and self-publishing, and memoirs, I’ve streamlined the publishing process so that I know how to get your book from first draft to first sale as quickly and economically as possible. 

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of stopping, stalling, starting, and stopping again. Now’s the time to get focused on achieving your goal of becoming an author. Writing is hard enough without struggling to master all of the steps involved in making your ebook and paperback available for sale.

That’s were I come in.

I published my first book over ten years ago, and I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge about your self-publishing options. Don’t waste anymore time trying to make sense of the decisions you have to make to sell your book on Amazon or one of the other book sellers or distributors. Although my speciality is travel guides, the advice and support I offer is just as relevant to any nonfiction niche.

If you’re writing fiction, you’re in the wrong place. There are plenty of  book coaches better suited to helping you publish your novel. But if you’re writing nonfiction, and need help making a decision that’s right for your book—I can help.

Time and money are two things that affect every author. And there’s never enough of either.

If you want to publish your book on an accelerated timeline, or want to know about the most cost effective options for self-publishing your book—get in touch via email.

A Little Background

I’m one of those authors who love’s research. I love taking a complex topic and breaking it down into smaller chunks, and then building it back up to make it easier for my audience to understand.

Before I abandoned my corporate career to become a full-time writer and book coach, I was a project manager in a completely unrelated field. I managed big-budget projects, spanning multiple companies and countries, involving large groups of people. I loved creating and managing project plans, and assessing the best way for the team to achieve our goals. I use that same approach to help your achieve your author goals.
