Strategic publishing guidance for creators who are ready to build something that lasts

I help established authors, entrepreneurs and creative leaders develop publishing systems that connect authentic voice with sustainable growth — through deep audits, strategic insight and two decades of pattern recognition.

The Work

Most publishing advice focuses on tactics — post more, optimize this, hack that algorithm.

I work differently.

I bring a data-meets-discernment approach to publishing strategy: the analytical clarity to see what your numbers actually reveal, and the intuitive awareness to understand what's happening beneath them. Creative and business blocks often live within the person, not just the strategy. As a trained meditation instructor, I integrate somatic awareness when it's useful — helping clients move past internal obstacles into clear, self-possessed decision-making.

Whether you're untangling a publication that's grown unwieldy, trying to understand why growth has stalled, or building systems that can scale without burning you out, I help you see what's working, what's not, and what to do about it.

Who I Work With

I work with established creators, authors, and business leaders who've outgrown tactics and need a strategic partner — someone who can see opportunities others miss, build sustainable systems that scale, and navigate the complexity of growth without losing what makes their work meaningful.

My clients and conversation partners include NYT bestselling authors, top Substack publishers (including #1 and #10 ranked publications), PBS program hosts, senior editorial staff at major lifestyle publications, published meditation teachers, and teams behind major wellness media platforms.

Where this perspective comes from:

I've spent nearly 20 years in editorial leadership and publishing strategy across environments most advisors never see — and that range is part of what I bring to the work.

I've provided developmental editing and creative direction for a NYT bestselling author partnered with the marketing strategist behind The Purpose Driven Life (30+ million copies sold), building custom creative teams for a departure from traditional publishing. I've served as lead editor and strategic content advisor for a risk management expert who advised NASA and federal aviation authorities. I've led developmental editing teams transforming academic research from Harvard MBAs into market-ready publications picked up by traditional publishers.

Beyond publishing, I've been a 10+ year strategic advisor to the CEO of a financial planning firm that surpassed $1M annual revenue in 2024, providing guidance on business growth, operational systems and decision-making frameworks. Earlier in my career, I built and led a content management department at a marketing agency serving luxury home builders, bringing print publishing principles and journalistic standards to digital marketing — work that contributed to hundreds of thousands in custom home sales.

This background means I understand publishing and business growth, creative process and operational systems, editorial quality and what actually drives revenue. If this sounds like the kind of support you're looking for, here's the best place to start.
