What is my story?
I started writing my first book when I was 16 years old. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of authors publish their own.
With over a decade in publishing, I worked in-house at three different publishers before starting my own business. I’ve held roles spanning writing, editing, project management, design, printing and distribution, and translation rights.
Along the way, my creativity kept me busy: I launched an Austin-based blog, started writing about spirituality on Substack, released an album that was featured on local radio in Austin, Texas, and became the host of a podcast focused on mindful travel.
Given my unique perspective as an artist and my vast publishing experience, my mission is to help authors create books that are not just professionally sound but creatively sophisticated.
Only superbly crafted books will stand the test of time, especially as AI-driven (and ego-driven) content simultaneously lowers the barrier for entry and the bar for quality.
If you want to ensure your book reaches its full potential, especially when so much content is vying for people’s attention, you don’t just need a publisher—you need a creative partner and fellow visionary who will help you craft a book that goes beyond the shelf and starts a conversation.
