Let’s finish
your book
Hey there, I’m Amy.
I’m a book-development consultant, publishing strategist, editor, and writer.
I help mission-driven professionals turn hard-won wisdom and earned expertise into quality nonfiction books.
I can help you develop and write a better book and finally get that book done.
You know writing a book is the next step for you.
But you’re not interested in pumping out a cheap, quick-and-dirty book just so your bio can say, “Author of . . .”
Your book is going to be more than just a weekend brain dump; a slew of generic, AI-generated content; a bunch of nice-sounding fluff; or a collection of material cobbled together (or outright stolen) from others’ work.
You’re writing a book that
is rooted in your own deep experience and earned authority,
reflects your unique knowledge, voice, and background,
is meaningful and satisfying to the people you’re writing for,
will make a positive difference in people’s lives and our world,
will speak to readers not just now but for a long time to come.
The book you’re writing is going to have more nuance, more thought, more depth, and more care than books spewed onto the screen in just a few hours, a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months and then published in a rush.
You’re not just an author.
You’re a Thoughtful Author.
Thoughtful Authors
write better books.
The Thoughtful Author’s Conundrum
You want your book to be great.
You want to your book to get done.
But . . .
How are you supposed to write a whole frickin’ book . . .
and do All the Things that will make it a frickin’ amazing book . . .
while still doing All the Things that make you an expert on what you’re writing a book about?
(Not to mention doing all the other flippin, flappin’ things in your life that need doing?)
It might feel like your only choices are
Giving up on your goal of writing a book.
Giving in to the pressure to cut corners and produce a book that’s not as good as you know it could be.
Burning out as you try to figure it all out and get it all done by yourself.
On the other hand,
You could partner with me
I’m a Thought Partner for Thoughtful Authors
I draw on my decades writing, editing, and book publishing experience to help you
figure out where your unique knowledge, experience, and skills meet your readers’ real needs
turn that into an impactful book.
Together, we will
sharpen your book idea
map out your content
determine your best publishing path
And I’ll help you draft, revise, and finish your manuscript.
In the end, you’ll have a book that showcases your brilliance, connects you with a bigger audience, and expands the reach of your work.
Instead of figuring it all out on your own . . .
You’ll have a seasoned book expert by your side, figuring it out with you.
“Precise, consistent, and kind, Amy is a boon to any author, editor, or publisher.”
