E​ver since I was a kid, I dreamt of publishing a book.

​And I worked at it. I wrote​ constantly, ​read, got an MFA, wrote some more. But ​for my first novel, something still wasn’t gelling. ​

Even outside the million rejections I got, I knew something was off.

Eventually I realized:

Publishing a book takes more than just writing.​ A LOT more.

​Recently I heard this phrase: “If you’ve never seen a saw, then a log looks like a miracle.”

If you don’t have the right tools​—or if you don’t even know they exist​—then yes, the end result may look like a miracle. ​That’s how publishing a book felt to me.

But once I found the tools, ​and the people who knew how to use them… suddenly, it​ was within reach.

When it comes to publishing books, those “saws” —th​e tools—are things like:

✅ Discerning the central themes and drafting a compelling outline
✅ Constructing scenes that makes readers keep reading
✅ Building a team of professionals to help edit, design, launch, and market the book

If publishing a book feels impossible, it might not be a talent problem.
​
It might be a tools problem.

That’s exactly what I help with.

I help authors find and use the tools they need to get that book out of their imagination and into people’s hands.
