Crafting Success Through Diverse Experience

My journey into self-publishing began with my debut book in 2022, a memoir that delved into personal family history in a West Virginia coal mining community. From there, I explored children's literature with a story narrated by Gooney, a curious river otter. These experiences have equipped me with a diverse understanding of publishing across different genres. I cherish the opportunity to share my foundational knowledge with aspiring authors.
Rooted in a rich career spanning over 40 years in education, I leverage my passion for effective communication to guide new authors. My goal is to bridge gaps, simplifying complex concepts and fostering transparent exchanges. It's this educational background that enables me to tailor personal consultations that are both informative and comforting, ensuring each author feels supported.

My expertise ensures that every book project benefits from meticulous attention to detail and strategic planning. I am committed to helping authors achieve their publishing goals, ensuring their stories are told authentically. Through dedication and guidance, I strive to inspire creative expression and a successful publication journey.
