Maybe you’ve carried the idea for years. Maybe you have an outline, a collection of notes, or half a manuscript sitting on your computer.
Now, you don’t have to do it all yourself.
The Concept to Launch Book Partnership™ is a done-for-you, start-to-finish service designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, experts, and speakers who want to be the author of a book—but something stands in their way.
You bring your expertise, experience, or idea.
I’ll take it from there.
Imagine your own book in your hands. A professionally written, edited, designed, and published book with your name on the cover.
A book you can use to establish your authority in your industry. Hand to a prospective client. Send to a podcast host. Sell at the back of the room after a speaking engagement.
Give to your children and grandchildren.
That is what The Concept to Launch Book Partnership™ is designed to accomplish.
You don't need to be a writer.
You can come to me with:
A concept. You know what your book should be about, but that's about as far as you've gotten.
An outline. You've organized your ideas but need someone to turn them into a compelling manuscript.
A partial or complete draft. You've already done considerable work but know the manuscript needs a professional to produce a book you are proud of.
I meet you wherever you are. We work through the details together while I do the heavy lifting. From Concept to Launch.
This is not simply a ghostwriting service. And it isn't simply a publishing package.
It is a 12-month partnership designed to take you from wherever your book is today all the way to becoming a traditionally published author with a book in your hands.
Together, we'll develop the direction and substance of your book. We'll move through the writing and editing process, prepare the manuscript for traditional publication, publish your book, and support you as you introduce it to the world.
Instead of hiring a ghostwriter, then finding an editor, then figuring out book design, ISBNs, distribution, publishing platforms, marketing, and launch strategy... you’ll have one experienced team guiding you from beginning to end.
Your Book. Your Voice. Your Name.
Ghostwriting doesn’t mean someone else takes over your book. My job is to uncover what you want to say and help you say it exceptionally well.
Through conversations, interviews, existing materials, stories, notes, presentations, articles, or whatever resources you already have, I develop the manuscript with you.
You remain the author. The finished book carries your ideas, your perspective, your personality, and your voice. I simply make the process dramatically easier.
A Complete 12-Month Partnership
This includes development and ghostwriting a book of up to 50,000 words—approximately 200 pages—along with professional editing, publishing, and high-touch support through your launch and beyond. Your book will be published by the respected traditional publisher Vendela Publishing, including their complete package. You will get Public Relations and Marketing help by the Vendela team who will walk with you after the book is launched. You don't have to do this alone.
What Could Your Book Make Possible?
As a professional who is building your standing in the world, a book changes the way people perceive you.
It opens conversations. Creates credibility. Builds authority. Generates speaking opportunities. Attracts clients. Introduces your ideas to people you could never reach one at a time.
Unlike an advertisement or social media post, a book continues that work for years.
Is This the Right Partnership for You?
The 12-Month Concept to Launch Book Partnership™ is designed for people who see the value in becoming a published author but doesn't have years to do the writing, then find someone to edit, produce, publish, and launch a professional-quality book.
You don't need a finished manuscript. You don't even need an outline.
What you do need is an idea worth developing and the commitment to partner with me to bring it into the world.
If you're ready to make your book a priority, let's have a complimentary conversation.
We'll talk about where you are now, what you want it to accomplish, and whether
The 12-Month Concept to Launch Book Partnership™ is the best way to make it happen.
You Already Have the Most Important Part. You have something worth saying.
SO, LET'S TALK.
