    The Strategic Author (TSA)

    Cohort-Based Coaching Program

    My signature program for authors who want to think like strategists — not just writers.

    Inside TSA, you’ll learn to think like a publishing professional.

    Whether you're pursuing a traditional deal (where agents, editors, and publishers are the gatekeepers) or self-publishing (where you are the publisher), TSA helps you approach your book the way publishing professionals do.

    You’ll leave with sharper language, stronger positioning, and the tools to execute a clear, aligned strategy to get your book published.

    Best for:

    — Authors at any stage of writing
    — All genres
    — Authors who want peer energy and expert guidance
