I coach aspiring nonfiction authors to write killer book proposals that attract agents and publishers.
You’ve had this book idea (or a bunch of ideas) in your head for a loooong time…
…And you’re annoyed that you still want to do it and it’s just not getting done…
I bet these thoughts take up your mental real estate:
You feel a little intimidated and overwhelmed by the enormity of the task of writing a book?
You think you don’t have enough clarity on your book idea? You have a lot of ideas… how do you know which one is the best?
You know there’s a lot you don’t know about publishing: do you need an agent? How do you get one?
You wonder if you have the right credentials and experience for this?
You want to know what can you expect in terms of time, money, and effort? Is it even worth doing?
I’m here to tell you:
You CAN write the book you secretly want to write,
the one that helps a lot of people with your message or your method,
and get it published.
I GOT YOU.
Let’s talk about the book you want to write.
If you are interested in exploring whether book and proposal coaching will help catapult you to your goal, I offer a complimentary discovery call. I only work with a small number of aspiring nonfiction authors with whom I can make a significant impact. If it isn’t the right mutual fit, I will be happy to refer you to another coach or point you in the right direction, so you have a next step you can take.

I’m Amy.
I’m a book coach because I’m an anthropologist. I study how people make meaning out of their experiences in the world, and I love solving problems by looking at and analyzing why people do the things they do. I bring my 20+ years of expertise in the art and science of pattern-finding, sense-making, and structuring information to the book you want to write.
I’m a book coach because I’m a traditionally-published author. I’ve been down the road you’re thinking about walking. I know what it’s like to face those writing demons, fear (What if I don’t finish? What if I do finish and it’s no good?) and self-doubt (I can’t do this! I’m not good enough!). I also know what it’s like to set an intention to publish and achieve that goal.
I’m a book coach because my first career was in publishing. My first job out of college was at an academic publisher because I wanted to play a part in bringing books into the world. I had positions in editorial, marketing, and sales, which gave me multiple perspectives on the processes in publishing.
I draw on my diverse careers and my book coaching training to provide you with everything you need as you go through this process. I cut through the clutter and bring out your best book.
