01
Coaching and strategy
We help you decide what your book is for, who it is for and how it supports your goals. Then we coach you through outlining and writing it yourself, with structure, feedback and accountability.
Book publishing
Write your book. We help you publish it.
We coach authors and leaders through planning, editing, design and publishing, from a first idea to a paperback, hardcover or ebook on Amazon through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). You write it. You keep the rights to your book and the account that sells it.
What we do
From first idea to finished book.
Use one step or all of them. Some authors arrive with a finished draft, others with an idea and a few pages of notes. We start where you are. The words are always yours.
02
Editing
Developmental editing for structure and argument, copyediting for clarity and consistency, and a final proofread before anything is published.
03
Design and formatting
A cover for the front, spine and back, an interior laid out for print, and an ebook file, all sized to KDP's requirements for your trim size and page count.
04
Publishing on Amazon KDP
We set up your KDP account in your name and prepare your listing: title, description, categories, keywords, ISBN and pricing. You review the printed proof, and we publish when you say so.
Why a book matters for leaders
- It puts your ideas in a form people can keep, share and come back to.
- It builds credibility with people who have not met you yet: boards, donors, patients, clients, partners and future hires.
- It can open doors to speaking, media, partnerships and consulting.
- Writing it forces clarity. You decide what you believe and how you would say it.
- It outlasts the meeting, the keynote and the quarter.
A book is the clearest way for a leader to say what they stand for.
Our strategy team helps you decide who the book is for and what it should do for you, before a page is written, then plans the launch around those goals. See Strategy.
How it works
Three steps from idea to published.
Nothing is published until you have approved the proof.
Tell us about your book
Send what you have: a finished manuscript, a rough draft, an outline or just the idea. Tell us who the book is for and what you want it to do. We reply with what we would recommend and what it would take.
You write, we coach, edit and design
We work through the steps you need: strategy and coaching while you write, then editing, cover and interior design. You see each stage and give feedback before we move on.
Approve the proof, then publish
You review a proof of the finished book. When it is right, we publish it on KDP from your account, and you start selling.
Who this is for
- Executives, founders and physicians who want a book behind their name
- First-time authors with a story or message to share
- Speakers, coaches and consultants
- Ministries, schools and nonprofits publishing for their community
- Clinicians and organizations with expertise worth putting in print
A book is a product. We can help you launch it like one.
Bookmarks, postcards, posters, banners, signs and branded giveaways for your launch, plus content and campaigns to reach your readers. See Printing, Promotional items and Strategy.
Common questions
Do I keep the rights to my book? Yes. The book is yours. Your KDP account is in your name, and Amazon pays your royalties to you.
What does it cost? Every book is different, so we quote each project based on the steps you need, the length of the book and the formats. You see the price before you commit.
Can I use just one service? Yes. Many authors come for coaching, editing, design or KDP setup only.
