you don't have to wait years to write your book
We would love to explain more of our process on a brief 30-minute call. Schedule a time below.
Invest in yourself. And invest in a team who truly believes in the story/lessons you have to share with the world.
3 options to choose from.
1 life-changing experience.
option 0
Finished manuscript + we edit
If you have a finished manuscript and are ready to get it over the finish line to publish, that’s great! Our Option 0 is for those who seek final editing, design, and publishing of their book to share with the world.
option 1
you interview + you write
Do you have an extensive past writing blog posts, articles, publications, or otherwise? If you want to lead the way writing, that’s great! We conduct interviews with you and provide transcripts to keep you going.
Option 2
you interview + we write
“Guys I don’t have the time and/or skill” often means a full Ghostwrite, which is also exciting for our team! We get to interview you, transcribe, and write a bulk of your book while maintaining the authenticity of your voice.
