Dear Author,
You may have decided you’re ready to write your book, and would like some level of extra help with that. You might have considered DIY option, or the minor support options, and really just want things DONE FOR YOU or Collaboratively WITH You, working directly with me, Dixie, and my dynamic team.
Well, I’m hearing you, and am delighted you’re here – let’s explore a couple of amazing options that are likely to suit your needs.
FIRST – I have to let you know that I understand the most critical part to get right first, is the Content Plan. Using my Tri-Variant Framework, I can take you through the planning, share resources, and connect you with a group option, as well as a little bit of personal support that is going to get you along way towards completing your manuscript draft and ready for editing, then production and publishing.
You need The Secret Sauce kind of publishing specialist and book coach who fully understands
the relationship between non-fiction authorship, professional speaking, and powerful marketing.

Start With the Draft…
Your book may or may not be better if it’s longer, shorter, more jargon, less case studies, better facts, more bullet points, fancy images… look, the fact is that your book might end up looking and functioning at a level that surprises you and exceeds your current vision and expectations for it. But there are so many ways to write and produce a book, that it’s easy to get lost in the options, and the details. Instead, we start with a strategic process of unpacking your ideas, your content, and then working that into a high functioning plan that either you or we (as your ghost writing team) can work with to write that important first draft and get it ready to be professionally edited, and then produced, published, and working for you.
Because I’m your: Ghost writer | Publishing 3.0 Specialist | Professional Speaker | Best Selling Author | Marketing Communication Specialist
Which is a rare combination of skills, I’m ready to share with you.
Here is an Important BONUS Point:
You can get your book plan created easily, and your first draft written in just a few weeks
But in record time, you can convert your book plan into a marketing content sharing plan too.
Your book can help change the world, one story at a time. It can also verify your level of expertise and help attract the kind of clients you most want to work with, for the fees you can confidently charge for your widsom and experience.
If you write a great book, it will work hard for you.
If you don’t put the effort into making it a brilliant reflection of your brand, it can hurt your brand, and even deflect successful opportunities.
So let’s get it right.
Let’s get your best content, out of your head, and plan how it’s going to positively impact on your readers, and how it can work for your business.
Some things to think about:
- You can’t create greatness in just a few days, or weeks, you need to curate your best material, not throw it into an ‘expensive business card’ to give away.
- You can’t just record your content and have it transcribed, withough still having a structural plan, and high quality editing – because your readers will simply not read it. Period!
- You can’t make it happen without knowing who your readers are, and what they really want and need from you – even if they don’t know it yet!
- Your book can help make you famous in your field of expertise. Or at least well known enough to be the go to person of note for media, ready and excited clients, and peers who want to congratulate you. Audiences who want to lean forward to hear what you have to say.
- There’s a very tight connection between non-fiction books, speaking professionally, and marketing yourself and your business.
I can help you explore what that means, and where you need to go on that journey.
Your Authority Journey.
