AUTHOR COACHING
Write & Promote the Book Only You Can Write
— With Guidance That Respects Your Pace, Voice, and Strengths —
Because if you've got the book idea, there is at least one person in the world who needs to read it!
You have a story to tell, a message to share, or a mission to serve — but the path from idea to published book and marketing it can feel overwhelming.
Especially if you’re an introvert who prefers reflection over promotion, solitude over spotlight.
That’s where I come in.
I've been in your shoes and managed to write, self-publish, and promote my first book to achieve 2800+ downloads within 36 hours, the acclaimed Amazon Best-Selling status (in seven countries), and ranked in the top 100 overall in its category on Amazon. I've learned a lot in the process, and that book won the Readers Favorite International Book Award and is listed in four categories of Best Books of All Times by BookAuthority.
I've also helped aspiring writers and authors since 2017, founded and led a writers association. Now, eleven books later and 12,000+ readers, I'd like to help you. As an introvert myself, I totally relate to the struggles you're going through (impostor syndrome, perfectionism, not much time and energy, "will someone want to read it?" ...)
As an award-winning author, certified coach, and entrepreneur with an IT background, I help thoughtful non-fiction writers move from idea to finished book and beyond — without burning out, selling out, or second-guessing every word. Because I've been in your shoes, and noticed first-hand the benefits (for yourself and others) to write at least a book. Or more, if like me, you fall in love with this process.
This coaching is for you if:
- You dream of writing a (non-fiction) book but don’t know where to start or how to build your author journey
- You have a draft but feel stuck or unsure how to move forward
- You want self-publishing and book promotion guidance without being overwhelmed
- You need clarity, encouragement, and accountability tailored to your rhythm and goals
What I'll help you focus on:
- Clarifying your message and ideal reader
- Finding your authentic writing voice
- Building a writing routine that works for introverts
- Navigating mindset blocks (imposter syndrome, fear of visibility, etc.)
- Understanding your publishing options — and choosing what’s right for you
- Strategizing and demystifying essential tech tasks (book formatting, website, email lists, etc.)
- Budget-friendly promotion and marketing strategies aligned with your (potential) readership.
You don’t have to do this alone. I'll help you co-create a writing journey that honors your innate strength, energy, and vision.

Enjoying meaningful conversations with readers and visitors, whose stories and insights often find their way into my books. (And yes, I still need plenty of time to recharge afterwards!)

My introvert-powered strategy (offered a custom helpful ebook) secured me free booths at multiple Job Fairs.
