Branches of Service
The Whole Package
Have our team create the transformational business book you desire, from start to finish, from book ideation to creation, from editing to book design, from marketing to publishing.
Business book consulting
Flesh out your best business book idea, get a jumpstart on the outline, and get ongoing project management support through the book creation and publishing process.
Find your best book idea
Figure out how your perspective, framework, methodology, or legacy can translate into a transformational business book, who your ideal reader is, and how you can position yourself to stand out from the rest.
Jumpstart your book
Dive deep into your business book idea and come away with a detailed outline that’s aligned with your vision, goals, and purpose so that you can hit the ground running in the writing process.
Ghostwriting
Partner with a ghostwriter who aligns with your vision and goals, sets the foundation of your book, folds in any relevant material you may have, interviews you, and writes your book on your behalf.
Book coaching
Gain expert guidance with a book coach who will provide you with accountability, craft tools to pen a powerful book, and a partner providing appropriate feedback aligned with your vision and goals.
comprehensive editing
Once the book is ready for editing, we ensure its structure and flow are sound, and follow any revisions with tidying up of language, spelling, and grammar. Proofreading later polishes the book in the design stage.
book Design
Let people judge your book by its compelling cover so they can pick it up and explore the transformational content inside. Includes both book cover and interior page design.
marketing & Branding
Learn how to amplify your authority with a customized strategy for book marketing, messaging, and branding, as you build your sphere of influence.
Audiobook production
Get an audiobook produced and narrated either with your own voice or with a professional voice actor, as our partner guides through the production of any audio-related content to support your book.
Self-publishing
We help you publish your book on Amazon, IngramSpark, and all the relevant platforms to reach your ideal audience.
Traditional Publishing
Pique the interest of top-notch literary agents and traditional publishers with a solid book proposal and compelling query letter.

Authors speak to our strengths
Dr. Jean-Paul Brutus
hand surgeon and author of two books, Secrets and Lies from the Operating Room and a forthcoming book on elevating patient experience
“Stanley is a pleasure to work with, and I could not recommend his services more to an author in need of help or to save tons of time! Stanley is five star all the way!”
JEFFREY KIPLINGER
founder and author of the forthcoming book, Expert to Entrepreneur: How to Turn Your Hard-won Expertise into a Thriving Business
“Stanley reached out to me on social media at just the right moment, as my book was in development and I was frustrated with the editing process. I had lost perspective and my publisher wasn’t too helpful. I hired him based on emotion, but the end product was a careful and rational way forward to a successful book. I’m very pleased and would work with him again—earlier in the development process next time!”

“Stanley stepped in and took great care of my project and made me look and sound ever better. He is easy to work with and that’s a great thing. He also stepped in with my team, when it was necessary, to coordinate communication and fine details. I’m very grateful and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
