Primary Services

I know how to produce, market and benefit careers and businesses by writing saleable nonfiction books.

As a best-selling author I have already achieved what you want to accomplish. I am able to provide you with motivation as well as insider knowledge about the publishing industry, and have developed a proven process that gets results quicker than you could achieve without my help.

Put simply, I’m your muse, guide, coach, teacher, mentor, consultant, and sponsor all rolled into one. I provide you with everything from strengthening the idea behind your book and developing its scope and structure, to guiding you throughout the writing process and ensuring your manuscript gets finished on time.

There are three key areas in which I can transform your experience as a new author:

  • Generating ideas you probably would not have thought of alone
  • Developing a kick-ass book proposal (the “business plan” agents and publishers want to see)
  • Designing a marketing plan to help promote you and your book

Praise for Dr. Liz’s e-book, “What’s Stopping You?”


“Liz is gifted at inspiring and motivating people.  In this valuable book she offers a variety of strategies for writing and publishing the book you've always dreamed of. With practical suggestions, creative ideas, and interesting stories, she challenges any thoughts or behaviors that have kept you stuck and energizes you to move forward to a more creative and fulfilling future.” ~ Dr. Kate Brooks, author of You Majored In What? (Viking, 2009).

 

 “Dr. Liz is a power-packed go-getter. Her sage advice can truly get you on the path from writer to author. Her new e-book, “What’s Stopping You?” might just be the beginning of the best of your life!”~ Marika Flatt, PR by the Book.

 

“Dr. Liz has created a practical, immensely helpful e-book that answers the questions other books never seem to answer. If you know you've got a book in you, the approach Dr. Liz outlines here will help boost your motivation, self-confidence, and follow-through.” ~ Regan Marie Brown, author of The Woman's Way, Celebrating Life After 40 (Andrews McMeel, 2001).

 

What's Stopping You? is an empowering look at getting into the right mindset to be an author. Far from the dry how-tos that currently litter this genre, Dr. Liz provides advice, practical exercises and inspiration for getting a book off your to-do list. I highly recommend it." ~ Rusty Shelton, Phenix & Phenix Literary Publicists.
