About me
author | inspirer | educator
I've been a lifelong communicator, from my first job in marketing at one of the top 10 newspapers in the United States, to public relations manager for a non-profit, and freelance writer.
Over coffee with a friend in 2018, after 19 years as a political spouse (my husband is a recovering politician), I was asked, “How do you do this?”
As in, how did I raise two children, sustain a marriage, nurture friendships, and craft a personal brand apart from my politician husband?
That's when my book idea was born.
Amid self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and confusion about the publishing industry, I persevered, and I learned everything I could about creating a book, including finding the perfect publishing path, and author marketing.
Aspiring authors tell me they want to write a book, but they don't know where to start. Some have imposter syndrome. Many are uncomfortable with self promotion.
When they ask me whether they should write a book, I tell them what a childhood friend and fellow author told me, "If it's in your heart, then do it.
I want you to realize the dream that's living inside of your heart. It would be my honor to teach you how to find the confidence and courage to bravely write, publish, and promote your life story through memoir.
Every story deserves to be told - including yours!
