CALL OUT YOUR IDEAL CLIENT HERE
FOR AUTHORS WHO ARE DONE BEING THE WORLD'S BEST KEPT SECRET
You have been writing. Finishing chapters at odd hours, reworking opening lines, dreaming of the books that live inside you. You are serious about this. You have always been serious about this.
And yet.
Something is still missing. Not passion. Not dedication. Not even talent. What is missing is a clear path forward. A strategy that actually fits the career you are trying to build. Someone who can sit with you, understand your vision, and help you make the decisions that will shape the next decade of your author journey.
That is exactly what the Author CEO Private Mentorship is designed to give you.
IS THIS YOU?
The Author CEO Private Mentorship is perfect for:
YOU HAVE BEEN WRITING FOR LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT FINISHING A BOOK IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
YOU WANT TO MAKE INTENTIONAL DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR PUBLISHING PATHWAY, NOT JUST FOLLOW THE LOUDEST ADVICE ONLINE
YOU ARE READY TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR BOOKS CAN GENERATE REAL INCOME AND BUILD A REAL BUSINESS
YOU ARE DONE GUESSING AND YOU ARE READY TO BUILD
And with equal love and clarity, this is not for you if...
— You are still treating your writing as a hobby and are not yet ready to think differently about it.
— You are looking for a shortcut to a bestseller list rather than a sustainable author career.
— You are not open to thinking about money, strategy, or the business side of publishing.
STOP GUESSING. START BUILDING.
I know what it takes to build a successful business— and I'll help you do the same.
I have written over 10 bestselling novels. I have built Serenade Publishing from the ground up. I have coached and guided authors at every stage of their journey, from first drafts to launch day and everything in between.
And I know what it is to love writing deeply, to be serious about it, and to still feel like you are operating without a map.
The truth is, craft alone does not build an author career. Strategy does. Clarity does. Making intentional decisions about your publishing path, your brand, your income model and your future does.
The Author CEO Mentorship is the most intimate way I work with authors. I offer it selectively, to women who are genuinely ready to build, because that is when this kind of support produces real, lasting transformation.
If you are reading this and something in you is quietly saying yes, I would love to hear from you.

BECOME THE CEO OF YOUR OWN BUSINESS
You do not need more inspiration. You need a strategy that honours your creative vision and builds something lasting.
1:1 PRIVATE MENTORSHIP
What we build together
Over four months, we design your author business from the ground up.
Not a vague vision board. Not a list of goals you forget by February. A real, grounded, strategic plan that reflects who you are, what you are writing, and where you genuinely want to go.
By the time we finish, you will know exactly what you are publishing next. You will have chosen your publishing path intentionally, with full understanding of what that choice means for your income, your rights, and your future. You will understand how your books can work as assets. And you will have a 12-month roadmap that you can actually follow.
Most importantly, you will think like an Author CEO.
You are not paying for information. You are paying for transformation.
The four-month journey
MONTH ONE: Identity and Vision
We begin where everything begins, with clarity about who you are as an author and what you are truly building. Together we define your long-term vision, identify the patterns of thinking that have kept you in someday mode, and establish what success actually looks and feels like for your life.
You leave this month knowing what game you are playing. And that changes everything.
MONTH TWO: Strategy and Publishing Decisions
This is where we remove the guesswork. We work through your genre and market positioning, your series versus standalone decision, whether self-publishing, hybrid, or traditional is the right fit for your goals, and how to think about rights and revenue from a position of real understanding.
You leave this month making informed, strategic decisions, not reactive ones.
MONTH THREE: Business Model and Positioning
Now we treat your books as what they truly are: assets. We build your author brand with clarity, map your long-term book catalogue, explore the income models available to you beyond royalties, and begin thinking about how you want to show up in the world as a creative entrepreneur.
You leave this month understanding how this becomes a business, not just a dream.
MONTH FOUR: Your Execution Roadmap
No vague inspiration. A real plan. We build your 12-month publishing roadmap, your launch timeline, your production schedule, and your marketing focus. We set your financial targets and establish the personal habits that will carry you forward as an Author CEO long after our time together ends.
You leave this month with structure, clarity, and momentum.
