As long as they are written by humans, like you, and not AI who befriend Joaquin Phoenix.
Deep down, you know this is true.
Writing a book will help you reach more people.
And that’s a great reason. But, chances are, there’s another reason too, the inner reason, the nagging inner voice saying, “You have this book inside you; you just have to write it.”
Maybe it follows you around, haunting you, not quite letting you go, like the Fatal Attraction of book ideas.
It’s official: You have a story to share and unmistakable need to write your book.
Writing a book will help you help more people.
There are few other mediums that allow your ideas and knowledge to be as far-reaching as and easily accessible as a book. Your book will basically travel through space and time and speak to thousands all over the world, without even having to leave your house.
Move over, Merlin, because books are magic!
Writing a book will help you!
It will give you clarity, confidence, and a sense of self you never knew you had before.
Going from aspiring writer to published author is a big deal.
It won’t just change the lives of your readers; it will change you.
(In a good, not-scary-but-totally-awesome way.)
This is why I do what I do, and it’s why I’m SO excited to support you in your writing journey.
The truth is, just like YOU, I wear many hats. I’m a literary agent, novelist, editor, and book coach. When I’m not helping my incredible clients write their best book possible, I’m writing my own romance novels, hanging with my awesome husband and sassy daughter, watching Sofia Coppola movies, laughing at reruns of Parks and Recreation, and eating mac and cheese (I’ll admit it. I love carbs). Another fun fact? I also have an alter-ego named Foxy B. Maybe you’ll get to meet her someday. 😉
My curriculum vitae, if you will…
After working as a writing consultant for eighteen years and an editor for twenty, I’ve zeroed in on exactly what it takes to kick writer’s block in the butt face and become not only prolific but efficient with writing. I also have a master’s degree in English Medieval Lit with a minor in Classics, which means I’m fluent in a lot of “dead languages,” like Old English (it’s more than just an old man’s cologne!). It’s how I was able to publish an edition of Shakespeare’s Measure by Measure without throwing in the towel after the fifteenth “‘twas.” Other highlights from my career include leaving academia after teaching English for a few years, writing ten novels, assisting William Murphy (an agent affiliated with Folio Literary), and serving as an apprentice at Belcastro Agency. But my big claim to fame has been helping football players stop whining about thesis papers and actually get pumped about Oscar Wilde. Yup. That happened.
In addition, my writing blog has won the Positive Writer’s The Best Writing Blogs for Writers Award TWO years in a row, and I’ve made Kindlepreneur’s list of best editors.

These authors have gone on to publish their bestsellers, write a second, third, and fourth book with ease, secure traditional publishing deals, increase their business revenue, and grow their fan base by the thousands.
The best part is seeing their readers thank them for changing their lives.
I know you have lives to change too, and I can’t wait to help.
