What We Offer

Yes, you can be an author entrepreneur and publish a book

Is becoming a published author on your bucket list? Are you struggling to get your book out of your head and down onto the page? Have you thought about self-publishing but are not sure how it works? You’ve landed in the right place. I’m a published author, a book and writing coach, and a seasoned editor – and I work with people just like you. Together, we make your book project doable so you can start and finish it, no matter how busy you are.

We help you go from idea to completed manuscript

My company, Voxie Media, specializes in working with smart people who’ve been thinking for months or years about writing a book. We help them start, finish and publish compelling business and nonfiction books. We work with authors to articulate big ideas such as leadership, innovation, effective communication, and workplace productivity. I work with you as a book coach and high-level editor on the writing. Then my hand-picked team of copyeditors, proofreaders and designers turn your words into a polished manuscript and a published eBook and print edition.

We specialize in short, beautiful books

Our specialty is short books (100 pages or less) because they are doable projects. Easier to write. And easier to read. Our authors all have one thing in common: they are extremely busy and highly knowledgeable. But they don’t know where to start and often struggle with the writing. They want expert guidance and they want the highest standards applied to their book project. Does that sound like you?

I invite you to Knock Down what is holding you back

Let’s talk.

LEARN HOW

I offer several programs for business authors who want help writing a short, professional and stylish eBook or book.

Write

My most popular program is Beta Author Boost, an 8-week intensive writing program for serious up-and-coming business authors. [Note: the Beta Author program is currently on hiatus while I work one-to-one with a limited number of authors.]

As an example of what Beta Authors can accomplish, here is the cover of Voxie Media author Bob Phelan‘s book: THE COST OF IGNORANCE.

It’s a riveting business novella that punctures confusing insurance jargon and introduces a powerful new form of insurance for middle-market companies: Performance-Based Insurance™.

Promote

I’m developing several shorter online programs related to writing and publishing an eBook. They will be available on Ruzuku. One is called ATTENTION! Get Your eBook Noticed, Loved and Shared. To be the first to hear when this new program launches, click here.

BOOK COACHING

I work one-on-one with a limited number of experienced professionals who want to write and publish a short (100 – 150 pages) business or nonfiction book. You do the writing so the book is really yours.

But I help you over every obstacle, every step of the way. I make your book doable. I am your editor, coach, collaborator, chief nudge and accountability partner.

We dig deep

Together, we refine the business goal of your book, dig deep to identify your most compelling book idea and bake the marketing of your book into the manuscript .

We schedule non-negotiable writing blocks into your calendar and build a customized arsenal of writing tactics to defeat procrastination, lack of clarity and other common roadblocks.

Feedback on your writing

My role? To be your professional editor (full disclosure: I am very tough) and your muse. I support, inspire and prod so you can ship a completed eBook within the timeframe you set.

Also included is my high-level feedback on your writing. This means pointing out what works, what sings, what questions are raised, what is missing and how to create the most value for your readers.

1-on-1 support and accountability

We work together via Skype video, typically meeting twice a month for 50-minute sessions. In between sessions, we communicate via email so that you are always supported.

Also included

Access to the course materials provided to Beta Author Boost participants, including my essays on the writing process, action step handouts, edited transcripts with guest experts and more.
