Welcome to the adventure of a lifetime.

Buckle your seatbelt as you are in for a ride! You will experience great heights, times of turbulence, fascinating seatmates, the endless drone of engines, excruciatingly long waits, canceled trips, the thrill and satisfaction of seeing new lands, and a view you just cannot imagine!

And while it’s not an easy process, I promise if you stick with it, it will be one of the most rewarding things you ever do – in fact, it can be a state-changing, life-altering, and mind-blowing experience!

There is nothing quite like holding your printed book in hand, seeing it on your favorite bookstore shelf or reading your first glowing review. Emails from previously unknown people expressing their gratitude for your words of wisdom are a gift not to be missed.

Sooooo now that we have covered that – what is the right publishing path for you and your book?

I know firsthand that on the road to getting published you’ll encounter the highs of hope and sweet moments of success—but also crushing rejection, relentless self-doubt, and sometimes the deafening echo of silence. I’ve shared many tears with clients whose dreams of a traditional publishing deal didn’t pan out. And I’ve shed a few in private, too, when I’ve had to say “no” to a hopeful author’s query, knowing they weren’t quite ready.

After agenting for seven years and experiencing just a tad too much heartbreak, I launched Read Literary Consulting, where I help authors navigate the twists and turns of the non-fiction publishing world. Utilizing three decades in personal growth and nearly sixteen years immersed on the rollercoaster that is publishing, I help clients determine if they should write a book, how to start, where to start, what to write and how to get published,. I bring the insider knowledge of a literary agent, the support of a coach, and the insight of a therapist. And, instead of focusing only on the narrow gate of traditional publishing, I help clients explore author-centric paths like self-publishing and hybrid models—anything that helps their stories find the right audience.
