Book Creation Services

I love to work with social entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and change-makers who may not have the time or the writing experience to share their stories without help. Here's how it works:

INITIAL CALL (FREE): This 30-45 minute call examines your book idea and potential readership. It also helps me decide if I'm the right person for the project. Following the call, you will receive a decision by email.


OUTLINING (USD 1000, GBP 800): Through a series of phone/video-call consultations, I will help you unload your brain of all the points you want to share in the book. The result of this brainstorming will be a compelling chapter-by-chapter outline. You are then free to take that outline to another writer, write the book yourself (see Coaching), or take it into the cowriting stage with me.

COWRITING (prices starting at USD 5000 or GBP 4200): Following the outline we have created together, I will write your entire book using material collected from in-depth telephone interviews with you (and your colleagues/clients, if appropriate), plus any archival material you may have. The outcome is a final manuscript that's ready for formatting.
Payment plans are available.

COACHING (per hour: USD 50, GBP 40): Writing a book is difficult, especially for people who don't identify as writers. I will coach you through the process, chapter-by-chapter, following the outline we have co-created until you have a completed first draft. At that point, I will provide a manuscript assessment that will help you write your final draft. Coaching clients receive a discount on the editing services (see Editing page).
​
Please note:​
  • I only take on cowriting or coaching clients who have worked with me on their outline. Trust me: it'll be easier for both of us!​
