BOOK ROADMAP INTENSIVE

“Letting go of what you thought your book should be about is one of the greatest gifts You, As a writer, can give a reader because they will be delivered something ten times more engaging than your first idea.”

- Kim O’Hara

Transform your mental clutter into a clear, actionable book roadmap that positions you as the go-to authority in your field.


You are accomplished. In life. At work. You have overcome many obstacles.

But your dream of writing a book has lingered in the background — unfinished and no less important. In fact, people continue to tell you that you should write a book about what you know. You know you should realize your book dream. But how?

Every successful professional gets to the top of their game by engaging high-level advisors and mentors. They are not interested in reinventing the wheel, just driving the car. Writing a good and well regarded story is no different.

Most clients show up feeling overwhelmed about the process of writing a book. (It's okay!) Since fear is rooted in lack of process — we will quickly establish a clear path forward. One that works for you, with your schedule, and no matter how much or little support you need.

Soon you will wonder what took you so long to get the book ball rolling!
