IMPROVE YOUR LIFE or CAREER.
BECOME an AUTHOR with a GREAT BOOK.

DO YOU WANT to write and publish a book but—

  • Don’t have the time?
  • Don’t know how?
  • Need help writing it?
  • Don’t know where to start?
  • You can organize and write your first draft but not sure what to do after that?
  • Don’t know how to publish?
  • You’re scared, worried, or frustrated by it all?
  • You’re not sure what’s stopping you?

As with anything, insight, guidance, and inspiration can make all the difference in the world. You get those things by hiring or learning from an expert. And we’re not just talking about your results, we’re talking about your experience getting there. I think you should enjoy the ride as well as the results.

After being involved in over 200 books, I now serve authors in four ways:

  1. With white-glove FULL-SERVICE, doing all the heavy lifting, freeing your creativity and time whether we start with an idea or your notes and materials;

  2. If you have a draft already, by offering AUTHOR SERVICES to get you professionally designed, produced, published, and launched;

  3. By providing DIYers the know-how, insights, and inspiration needed through EDUCATION and COACHING for great books and great experiences;

  4. By creating EVENTS and opportunities for authors to grow and enjoy the ride, like on a cruise!

I’m glad you found me, and I hope we get to meet and talk about your ideas. I know how books change lives and make dreams come true. Please enjoy the website and when you’re ready, grab a freebie, buy my book or course, hire me as your personal coach or collaborator, or get in on a multi-author project or the annual author’s cruise.

Books change lives, for authors as well as for readers. It would be a privilege to be involved in yours in any way I can. ~ Rodney

Results

RESULTS

I PRIDE MYSELF on the results of a project, and I see them as three types:

  1. AN EYE-OPENING, FUN, MEMORABLE PROCESS which often leads to greater understandings of oneself, one’s life or business, new clarity, and renewed purpose and excitement for life and living.

  2. A “HEALTHY” AND “SUCCESSFUL” BOOK you are proud of (and can earn income from) the rest of your life. A “healthy” book actually sells and gets read, and a “successful” book accomplishes the goals you had in mind when you first dreamed up the idea of having a book.

  3. A NEWLY ENABLED AUTHOR who can now leverage and enjoy greater credibility and reach, with new opportunities afforded by a healthy and successful book.

Add to that when projects are “over” (I am always interested in the long-term success of you and your book), we are usually good friends, and that about sums up why I love my job so much. I’m not looking for a million clients. My ideal is that my small network of author-client-friends grows through the years, as do our careers.

It’s more fun that way. And when I see author-clients proudly signing books, appearing on television and radio, reaching more people with their messages, taking their regional success national, or just holding their book at their kitchen table with that warm smile, I have to think even Emerson would be proud. I know I am.
