Why would you want to work with me?
​
  • In the past 18 months 4 of my authors have launched Amazon #1 New Release books.
  • I am a former reporter and editor for daily newspapers where I developed the ability to meet tough deadlines and shape content.
  • I am the recipient of 6 writing grants from arts councils in Connecticut, Michigan, and Massachusetts
  • I am a published author and co-creator of TV pilots for NBC and ABC

Maybe it sounds a little crazy for me to give away so much for such a small fee. But I am paid a thousand times when I see a frustrated writer become an accomplished startup author.
 
P.S. If you don't know me well yet, here are a few testimonials from clients who have used my model:
 
"I would have never gotten this far without his constant encouragement telling me my words had value. He saw something in the book before I did."
—Adam Wilson, author of Tactical Reload (Amazon #1 New Release)
 
"Without you this would still be ideas dancing in my head, keeping me up at night. Thank you for your endless help in pulling my story apart to find the perfect pieces to share with readers."
— Amy Eicher, Restoring Venus Amazon (#1 New Release)
 
"You were instrumental in helping me come up with these stories. This project would not have been possible without your creativity.”
 — Lt. Col. Michael Jacques, A Chaplain’s Battle
 
P.P.S. There's no risk to get started. Just schedule your first phone session with me to make sure this is perfect for you. If it's not, I'll promptly return your money. But I know my model works. And I know how exciting it is to finally be able to say with confidence, “I am the author of … “

    Have questions?  I have answers!

Submit
NO SPAM! I will not share your contact info, nor will I bury you in email offers you don't want. ​
​
  • Do you have at least one good book in you? (Or two?) 
  • Do you have a pile of messy notes ( (or digital files) that are driving you crazy because you don't know how to shape it all into a manuscript?
  • Do you feel like you have cheated your writing dream by not writing? "Just Do It!" is a strong brand motto. But some people can't because they just don't know how.
  • I can help. Daydreams and purpose are allies not foes. Reclaim the lingering itch to write--and then finish! 

SPECIAL NOTE for EXPERIENCED WRITERS: Just need brainstorm chats and fresh ideas? I customize this method for each author.  Let's make it work for you! 

"Douglas your writing is concise, taut, and you take what could be complicated details and roll them out seamlessly--
and the pace, terrific."
 
— Beth Davey, Davey Literary & Media
