Hello!
So you're creating a book! That's wonderful!
It's my delight to help both aspiring and experienced authors transform their ideas into a dream-come-true book in their hands.
My ideal author clients are heart-centered, purpose-driven entrepreneurs or service providers who have a worthwhile message or story they feel called to share. While they don't all consider themselves a writer or an author, they are ready to embrace this book adventure as a growth and faith-building journey. They are ready to invest the necessary time, resources and grit into their book project, both before and after publication.
Does that describe you -- or at least the kind of adventure you're ready for?
If so, let's get ready for our call.
First, I have some questions -- to give you time to think through your answers beforehand and so I understand more about your book and where you are in the process. This will keep us focused on the purpose of our conversation.
What kind of book is in your heart?
ie. fiction/non-fiction/memior, genre, type, pain point it addresses.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about the book. I hope it was an enlightening process for you as well.
On our call, we'll spend 10-15 getting to know one another, and sharing more about your book goal and where it is in the process. Based on that information, if it seems like it could be a fit for both ofus to work together, I'll explain the services and rates I can provide to help support your goals and growth as an author.
If we're not a great fit to work together towards your book goals, you'll still leave the call knowing some alternative options you could pursue.
Until then,
Emily
