Identify your author superpowers!
Overwhelmed by yet another “should” for your author business?
Are you blocked by the tornado of ideas and advice? “I’m not writing a dozen books a year ‘to market,’ I’ll never never sell another copy!” (What market?! Whose market?!)
You don’t need another tool, system, or to-do. You need to figure out what works for you and chuck the rest.
I can help. You can do it. Craft YOUR personal path to success.
What the **** is an author coach?
From craft to marketing, the indie author industry throws a swirl of ideas, advice, strategies, and tools at you. And succeeding isn’t an overnight journey. This can leave you feeling confused, frustrated, and like a failure.
Maybe this tool. Maybe this genre. Maybe this social media platform. Maybe if I change this one thing or all the things…
An author coach helps you navigate the chaos and maximize your success.
My author coaching services start with you—your goals and strengths. As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, I can help you lean into the unique talents you bring to writing and living.

FAQs

CliftonStrengths is a science-based assessment backed by research of over one million people. It started decades ago with the research of Don Clifton who wanted to ask, “What would happen if we studied what was right with people instead of what was wrong?”
Clifton’s research led to identifying 34 key talents in successful people. Your top talents are the ones that you reflexively tap into for making decisions and interacting with others and the world. Knowing your profile helps you understand your best path to success.

Yes, and I’ve been working with CliftonStrengths as an author, freelancer, and entrepreneur since 2017. I became certified in early 2022.

Understanding your specific strengths profile helps you turn them in superpowers. Much of the advice you hear in the world (the author world or the world in general) doesn’t take into account that not everyone thinks, feels, relates, or works the same way or at the same speed. Each person’s path to success will aligns with their profile.
Your tendencies can shape how fast you write, whether you’ll enjoy or connect with social media marketing, or what type of characters you create. In other words, these strengths influence your career. Understanding them gives you more power and more confidence in your decision making. You can have more clarity about whether tools or strategies are likely to work for you, whether you’ll enjoy them enough to stick with them, and where you can confidently say “yes” or “no.”
