AUTHOR CONSULTATIONS
I believe nearly everyone has a wonderful book inside them.
I also believe - after several years of working with first-time nonfiction authors - that many choose to write the wrong book or follow the wrong publication path to meet their goals…
...and end up wasting years and thousands of dollars (not to mention hours of frustration) in the process.
There’s another way.
By investing in expertise tailored to help you maximize your strengths and circumstances, you can save time and money and find more joy, ease and inspiration in the writing process.

I’ve served as a developmental editor, consultant or ghostwriter on nearly 50 nonfiction titles, including multiple Amazon Bestsellers in the Business and Psychology categories, and have guided self-published, hybrid and traditionally published first-time authors. I’m committed to demystifying the first steps of the writing and publishing process so that emerging authors have a solid foundation on which to start their book.
My one-on-one consults are designed to provide you the building blocks for your unique path.
Topics include:
Self-publishing, hybrid and traditional publishing: the typical pros, cons, costs and timeframes of today’s publishing paths.
From reader to writer: how to think about content structure and marketing position to make sure your book can cut through the noise.
Platforms that matter: how to start or grow an existing platform that enhances your credibility and connects with readers.
Editors, coaches, ghostwriters & co-writers: who do you need on your team?
Interviews, research and digital bonuses: how to begin to tackle the ‘extras’ that provide the necessary layers and benefits that readers have come to expect.
Investment:
1-hour Zoom consults are $275.

"I had a vision for my content but no idea how I was going to execute a plan to develop it. Claire was instrumental in helping me build my platform and bring my vision to life. She taught me the art of being methodical and patient to produce quality content that was relatable to my target audience. What I loved about the process is that I never felt intimidated or overwhelmed. She has a way of breaking things down and making me think in an organized way. She is open, willing, and very capable of collaboration, and her teaching methods are inspiring and motivating. Today I am a much better creative and technical writer and it happened organically. If you work with Claire, you will learn a lot about writing but even more about yourself. She has a unique way of helping you build confidence." - Ilene Smith, author of #1 Amazon Bestseller Moving Beyond Trauma
