The Challenge

You have the expertise. Getting it polished is the hard part.

Juggling multiple freelancers

Coordinating an editor, designer, and formatter wastes time and creates inconsistency

Quality doesn't match your expertise

Generic templates and rushed work undermine the credibility you've built

You're the bottleneck

Time spent on formatting and revisions is time not spent on clients or content

Handoffs lose context

Anonymous freelancers don't understand your goals or stay invested in your success

About

A true partner, not a vendor.

I spent a decade inside a globally recognized consulting firm, turning the ideas of world-class thinkers into polished, professional content—books, presentations, reports, and training materials.

  • Built flagship learning programs alongside bestselling authors and thought leaders
  • Created presentations, white papers, and course materials for global audiences
  • Won a Brandon Hall Innovation Award for learning design

Now I bring that same attention to quality to consultants, coaches, and authors who want their work to look as good as it sounds. You get direct access to me throughout the process—no handoffs, no anonymous freelancers.

FAQ

Questions our clients ask before they book

A draft manuscript, existing slides, or written content. It doesn't need to be polished—that's what I'm here for. Even rough notes or an outline can work for certain projects. We'll discuss what you have in our initial consultation.

Presentations usually take 1–3 weeks. White papers and reports take 2–4 weeks. Book editing and design takes 4–8 weeks depending on length and complexity. I'll give you a clear timeline upfront—no surprises.

Yes. While my primary focus is consultants and thought leaders, I also work with general nonfiction authors—memoir, self-help, health, personal finance, and similar genres.

Professional typography, chapter headers, page layout, and formatting for both print and e-book. I deliver files ready for publishing on Amazon, IngramSpark, or wherever you're distributing.

Absolutely. If you have brand colors, fonts, or style guides, I'll incorporate them. If you don't, I can help establish a consistent look that reflects your professional image.

You'll review drafts and provide feedback at key milestones, but I handle the heavy lifting. Most clients spend a few hours total on reviews. I stay in close contact so you're never surprised.
