How we can put you on the map
Book coaching
A book coach means many things. In this case it means professional content development and editing in order to turn an idea into a well-written book. Our book coaching packages include private sessions via phone or Zoom in which we spell out the specific action steps you’ll take to create useful, well-written material; that will ensure a huge demand for your message and your services. We’ll deliver probing manuscript reviews that will have you digging deeper than you ever thought possible, producing more great content than you can imagine. We’ll also provide clear direction when you’re ready to publish your manuscript so you won’t wind up on the curb wondering where to go next.
Ghost writing
A ghostwriter is an anonymous professional writer who takes your concept (the story), works it up from scratch, and puts it in your words. We pull all of your thought processes straight from your head and deliver them in the form of a clear, concise book that can enhance your business and help make a lot of money.
Who hires a ghostwriter? Someone who doesn’t have the time to write, nor the skills, but recognizes the necessity of having a particular book to their name. They see no reason to produce an inadequate, confusing, stilted, boring work, when they can hire a professional to clearly enunciate their unique ideas and mine the right content for them. Fees are assessed per project.
Book doctoring
A book doctor is a number of professions all rolled into one. We’re a form of “extreme editor”. We have in-depth knowledge of trends and how to take advantage of them. We’ll take your roughly written manuscript and turn it into a near perfect publishable work. In essence, a book doctor comes in and helps you, the author, re-write the book in order to improve the quality of writing.
Manuscript Review
You might have a manuscript already but you are wondering if it is ready to be published or if you are blind to its fatal flaws.
Turn your manuscript over to a trained professional who understands precisely how well-crafted books are put together.
You’ll get a manuscript assessment that gives you a list of the exact steps you’ll need to take before you hit the button and release your book into the world. You’ll be provided with an explanation of the major issues present (if any) and how you might go about fixing them, identification of where the structure works and where it doesn’t, and suggestions for fixing the structure (like how to weave backstory in if you’ve stayed too linear). And if you have a perfect manuscript, you’ll get peace of mind that all your friends and family were correct when they sang its praises.

“Three seconds after I decided I wanted to write a book, I immediately drew a blank in execution. Ann was my save. She gave me the confidence to dive into the unknown. Ann and I challenged each other relentlessly. She ripped ideas out of my head I didn’t even know I had and I broke down processes she needed to get right to truly represent me. In the end, our battle of the minds produced a book that speaks my language and that of my audience. I’m not just proud of the outcome, I value the entire journey immensely.”
