I’ve worked with indie authors for over two decades — as a writer, editor, outliner, production specialist, and strategist.

A few years ago, I stepped away from publishing entirely to focus on the project management career path I’d been following in conjunction with this. I build businesses and it made sense to me that the most fulfilling career I could manage was in construction. That’s real. Or so it seemed.

This time, I helped two contracting businesses restructure their operations and scale. One grew by over 400%, the other by over 600% in a year. It wasn’t all me, but I did help considerably, and now both companies are on good tracks to perform at the level they’d wanted to achieve.

However, that didn’t fill my buckets. Yes. I love growing businesses.

But I really love publishing. I love almost every aspect of publishing - except for uploading paperbacks to Bookvault. That’s the one aspect I enjoy the least. Everything else, though? I love it.

I hate, however, seeing fellow authors burn out by trying to keep up with the amazing and super-producing power indies at the top. I’m a strategist and a creative, and I want to help authors build careers and author businesses they can maintain without killing themselves.

Succeeding Without Burnout

What Makes My Approach Different

My background blends:

  • Problem diagnostics

  • Solution management

  • Long-form manuscript editing

  • Series architecture development

  • Indie publishing operations

  • Project management

  • Business growth strategy

  • Structural optimization

I think in:

  • Capacity

  • Production ceilings

  • Market/reader/business (you) alignment

  • Revenue architecture

  • Sustainability loops

This allows me to diagnose problems at the structural level — before you waste time or money pushing in the wrong direction.

My Mission

My mission is to shape the world around us through our stories by raising the standards by which we deliver them. We want indie authors to be seen as "real" authors because we know we work harder, we put in more hours, and we truly are worth it. We want to take the publishing world by storm; a storm of quality and fantastic stories readers will be unable to put down.

I Work Best With

I work best with mid-career indie authors who:

  • Have published multiple books

  • Treat writing as a business

  • Are serious about sustainable growth

  • Value clarity over hype

If you’re looking for motivation or quick hacks, I’m not your person.

If you’re ready for structural alignment, we’ll get along well.

I care about creative longevity.

Not just publishing another book.

If you’re ready to build an author business that supports your life — not consumes it — explore how we can work together.
