Packages that meet you where you are.
We believe that book coaching is a must for the busy professional, whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, consultant, or service-based expert.
We also recognize that one size doesn't fit all. Our four package offerings are specifically designed for a variety of needs in mind. The Start Messy, Finish Mighty method is embedded in every package to help you overcome your obstacles, set realistic goals, and simplify the process of writing your book - so that you can get it out into the world and leverage it to gain new business opportunities and clients.
All packages include a copy of Start Messy, Finish Mighty: Write the Book That Builds Your Business.

How the process works.
One of the most common questions people ask is, "How long is it going to take me to write my book?"
The answer may feel daunting: realistically, you should expect the entire process to take 9 - 12 months, and perhaps more, depending on your consistency and dedication to the process.
The second question that invariably arises is, "But can't AI speed up the process?" That answer is, "Yes!...but...."
AI, when used as a tool, can definitely speed up the process! From research, to drafting, to ideation, to charts and graphs - AI is an outstanding tool. But it cannot write in your voice or tell your stories. Nor does it have the human judgement needed to protect (and enhance) your reputation as an authority in your field.
Even if you're using AI as a tool, we believe that your book needs human direction, human quality assurance, and human judgement prior to publication in order to ensure your reputation and credibility.
Different package offerings include different parts of the process, as indicated below. Note that timeframes are variable depending on how quickly you draft and revise based on your editor's feedback.
