Why? Here's My Why.

Why are you a book coach? A few people told me I inspired them to write their stories. I'm an author, book coach, peer counselor and trainer. First, I love writing. Writing comes easy to me. I've been journaling since I was a young girl. Teachers complimented my writing throughout grade school.


Plus, I'm competitive. I believe I can make your light shine brighter. Like a beautician who enjoys styling people's hair and enhancing their appearance and confidence. Likewise, I like guiding authors on designing and finishing their books.


Mental Health Field

I like to help people. Aside from writing books and mentoring, I'm a peer counselor in recovery. Otherwise, known as a certified peer specialist. Currently, I work with people on their health plans. Specifically, I support individuals on their wellness to improve physical and mental wellbeing.


Moreover, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in training people. We all have a story, and I believe I can help you share yours - beautifully and effectively. I have a background in training people on how to articulate their stories of recovery. I've walked people through the steps of organizing their thoughts, writing experiences and building their confidence to share it publicly. I'm a state trainer for NAMI Georgia, which is a mental health advocacy non-profit organization. NAMI stands for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. I've been a state trainer for NAMI since 2012.


Partnering with Authors

I want to not only help you share your stories but to bring your readers in closer. I aim to help you gain clarity and to create exciting books to read. With my expertise and direction, we could take your ideas to greater heights and make them reader-friendly, appealing and have your followers hungry for more.  


I cling to hands-on training. It's always helped me regurgitate information easier. I want to share my expertise in an intimate setting to help others digest information better and to get positive results. I assist authors with their manuscripts by guiding them on how to organize the work, cater it to a specific audience and keep readers hooked and thirsty for more.


Why am I a book coach? - I enjoy writing, assisting authors, and empowering individuals with the skills to achieve their dreams.

Every day is a brainstorming session. Therefore, I keep a journal handy at all times to record ideas and incorporate them into the development phases. Creati...

Don’t Rain on My Parade: Common Pitfalls

As a self-published author I strive to deliver excellence. Over the years, I’ve made many mistakes. I’ve identified common pitfalls that we’ll  discuss in order to manage them. I’ll bring attention to three areas: Foreword Versus Preface and Introduction Author Biography Professional Editing Presentation is essential to the finished product. Yet, some of us cut corners which is disheartening because it could dim opportunities and credibility. My book, In Her Own Ink, shares the differences between the Foreword, Preface and Introduction. Can the Author Write the Foreword? Depending on the type of narrative we’ll include a Foreword section. However, a lot of authors get this element of the book confused. The Foreword is NOT written by the author. In fact, it typically is authored by an expert in the field, or someone who specializes in the book’s area of focus.  The expert will promote your book. Giving readers a glimpse of their insight as a specialist, their relationship to yo...

You've created an outline or an overview of how you want your chapters to look. Already, you began writing but you only write every once in a while. Still, you're excited about kicking off your book design. Yet, something continues to hold you back. It's not procrastination, confusion nor lack of motivation. You say to yourself: what's the issue now? I'm stuck! I'm writing but not getting enough results.  Develop a Writing Goal To keep the momentum going you must create a rhythm. Develop a system and make it work for you. There are lots of methods to creating a routine in order to get unstuck and dive into tunnel vision. One strategy to creating a specific writing goal is to consider meeting a word-count. Every time you sit down to produce a draft target a specific word-count. One page is about 500 words and a chapter is generally 2,000 words. Therefore, make a commitment to meet a certain word-count and witness your steady progress. Another approach to tackling...
