Author Programs

Are you an author, consultant, or an independent professional?

Having a book is one of the best marketing investments you’ll ever make.  It sets you apart like nothing else can.  BUT it’s alot of work to write, publish and market your book.  That’s where I can help.  I’ve worked with scores of would-be authors and helped them write, publish and market their books so they could build their brand and their business.  And I can do the same for you.

I’ve developed 3 programs depending on your needs, your knowledge and your budget.

  • 42 Rules – When you need to write your book fast, we help with writing, publishing and marketing a 42Rules branded book.
  • 1:1 Coaching – When a 42Rules book isn’t for you, leverage my expertise to guide you through the entire process.
  • Book Marketing MOJO – Start Here if you already have a book and need to start marketing it!

Do you need to write a book fast? 

The 42Rules program is great for busy people who want to write a book quickly.  The 42Rules program is the only one of it’s kind that integrates Writing, Publishing and Marketing into one comprehensive program.  Using the 42Rules structure, you learn about the entire writing process, the elements of a good non-fiction book, and how to write for your audience.  Then we focus on getting the book published in partnership with Super Star Press (a division of Happy About). Me and my team of publishing professionals manage your book project from first draft to initial page layout, cover design, production of ebooks and paperbacks and finally distribution through all the major distribution channels including Amazon.com. Then you and I turn our attention to marketing the heck out of your book based on what you like to do and what your audience needs from you.  The result is a powerful marketing and business development tool that will serve you and your business for years to come.

The 42Rules format not for you?

That’s OK.  Everyone is different and we have different ideas for our book projects.  If you have an idea and need help making it happen, you’ve come to the right place.  I work 1:1 with both fiction and non-fiction authors and coach them through the writing and publishing process.  Leveraging what I have learned as a best selling author, we focus our efforts where you need the most help; whether it’s organizing the book outline or providing developmental editing of your manuscript, it’s up to you (with my guidance of course).   We will meet weekly by phone and focus on specific topics based on your priorities.  I keep track of all action items and will send reminders throughout the week to keep us on track.  Fees for 1:1 consulting are $1500 per month with a minimum 3-month commitment.  Fees will be invoiced monthly.

Do you already have a book?

If you’re like most authors, you need help marketing. Not everyone is a marketing expert…but lucky for you I am.  I have created an online coaching program that will give you everything you need to know to build a solid foundation for marketing your book.  This membership program delivers 11 weekly emails – each one focused on a specific marketing activity.  These activities will ensure that you have the basics in place – like a book web page, presence on Amazon.com, social media profiles – to make sure all your marketing campaigns are as efficient and as effective as possible.  This is a self-paced program available online for $47.95.  Click here to learn more.
