There are paths for the transformation you want to make, as well as pages for different topics below, and links for useful resources. Just click on the images to find out more.
Choose the transformation you want to make
I've lived all four of these transformations over the last twenty years!.
In 2006, I was a miserable IT consultant who didn't think I was creative. By 2008, I'd published my first non-fiction book, and in 2011, I published my first novel and left my day job.
By 2015, I was making six figures and have now run a multi-six-figure author business for almost a decade. Since 2022, I've been learning to work with AI rather than fear it.
Your writing can change your life, but I know how hard it is to believe that when you're at the beginning of your author journey, or you're going through a rough patch.
Wherever you are on the journey, there's a path forward. Let's find yours.
