Why Work With Me to Create Your Book
I'm the former CEO of a top advertising agency and the author of half a dozen business management books. I'm currently the editor, publisher, and owner of a book publishing firm that has more than 220 books in print. I have worked with authors and professionals for decades, guiding projects from concept through publication. So you won't be working with a template-driven or AI-generated writing business. Each book is developed with editorial rigor, strategic intent, and respect for the author’s voice.
I understand business communication, nonfiction structure, and what it takes to produce a book that reflects credibility rather than hype.
If you do not already have a publisher lined up, I can publish and promote your book.
If you prefer to self publish, I can create the files you'll need and guide you through the process.
