Author of Heartspoken
Q. Your new book, Heartspoken: How to Write Notes that Connect, Comfort, Encourage, and Inspire, came out this July. What inspired you to write it?
A: A moment of inspiration came at the beginning of the COVID pandemic when my daughter, Sarah, knowing that my calendar had just gone from completely full to completely empty, challenged me to get the book out of my head and onto paper. She actually gifted me with an accountability coach to help get me started and keep me on track. It was a precious gift of love that resulted in this book.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Hybrid/Co-Publishing
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
