Are you writing a book meant to offer guidance or wisdom that illuminates someone’s pathway forward?

(I call these “books that help people.”)

Let’s grow it right.

 

A book that helps people is grounded in more than just the book.

  • There’s your authority—the reason people will trust you with this

  • There’s your uniqueness—the way your book offers something new

  • There’s your readers—who they are and how they find you

  • There’s your message—the transformation your book will bring

  • There’s the need—why this book, why right now, and why you

The Bookwifery process readies you for all of this, moving you through it with ease.

 

The Bookwifery guides and workbooks are the cornerstone when you start.

Then we get into pages and manuscript.

The secret sauce is our work together.

Whether you pursue independent or traditional publishing, the Bookwifery process supports you.

  • Start with the book pregnancy planning guide

  • Move through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Trimesters

  • Schedule 1:1 sessions along the way

  • Join our Bookwifery Collective for check-ins and community support

  • Add in Bookwifery’s editorial expertise

  • Live into the delivery plan you create

  • Receive postnatal care once your book has greeted the world

 I’ve poured everything I know into every resource here, then added soul care to the whole of it.

 

There’s much to learn, discern, and work toward in book pregnancy.

Every guidebook was personally written by me to enable you to:

  • Learn what you need to know, with no steps missed

  • Discern the choices along the way that are right for you

  • Work toward each milestone with confidence and strength

As you hit each milestone, I’m right there to support you with feedback, ideas, editorial expertise, and ongoing discernment.

When you choose the Bookwifery way of growing and birthing your book, you receive from me:

  • A wholehearted champion for you and your project

  • Someone who sees deeply into what you and your book can be

  • A discernment partner for key decision moments along the way

  • My feedback to strengthen and clarify your book’s viability

  • My editorial expertise to sculpt your project toward its best self

  • My mindful care for your tender places along the way

  • A book midwife for the whole of your book pregnancy

Your book is important, and you want to tend it well.

You can do this.

This deceptively simple, deeply supportive process grows your inner authority.

Strengthen your conviction about:

  • The place your book belongs in the conversation space

  • What your book does that other books don’t

  • Whom you’re serving and how you’re serving them

  • What you believe about your subject matter

  • Everything that belongs in your book and why it’s there

  • Your publishing path and delivery plan for your book

Every guidebook leads you from one phase of book pregnancy to the next.

You complete:

  • Exercises that deepen your clarity and grow your confidence

  • A book proposal to be proud of, including three sample chapters

  • An impeccable query letter

  • A full-length manuscript

  • A discerned publishing path

  • Your book’s delivery plan for its birth into the world

How long does it take?

The timeline is up to you for the parts that belong to you.

  • Complete the guidebooks and digital workbooks at the right pace for you

  • Set 1:1 sessions with me once you hit clear milestones

  • Write the book proposal and manuscript chapters on your schedule

  • Turn around revisions on deadlines that work for you

Publishing, as an industry, moves slow. For the parts that belong to you, it doesn’t have to.

  • Yes. In my experience, most people come into the process mainly thinking about their book. Many of them have written thousands of words already!

    But they don’t have a clear sense of who the book is for, the need that it meets compared to other books, or how they’re connecting to an audience as they work on it.

    All of these pieces are essential, and bringing a book to viable life requires the simultaneous tending of all of them.

    When you start with Book Pregnancy Planning, you ensure you put all of this in place from the start.

  • Both! The most important thing to remember is that no matter which path you choose, you need to simultaneously tend your book, your voice, and your audience. 

    This is because with traditional publishing, agents and publishers require:

    • Your clear vision, ownership, and plan for the book

    • Your awareness of the conversation space and where your voice fits in

    • Your vibrant platform with a direct connection to your audience

    For independent publishing, this is just as critical because:

    • You are investing your own belief, effort, and resources in its success 

    • You are wanting to ensure it is clear, valuable, and visible when it arrives

    Bookwifery helps you prepare for either option, providing you with guidance and resources for both.

  • Yes! Every phase of the Bookwifery process provides 1:1 access to me. These 1:1 sessions are where you receive my closest care and collaboration with you on your book project.

    Additionally, every author-in-progress at Bookwifery belongs to the Bookwifery Collective, which I host for 90 minutes every other week. (More details on this in the next question.)

    Lastly, Bookwifery provides editorial services for authors along the way, which also happens in close concert with me.

  • Yes, it’s included!

    The Bookwifery Collective is our author community, and yes, it is included with your purchase of any Bookwifery digital product—no extra charge!

    We meet every other week on Wednesdays at 5:30–7:00PM Eastern. These sessions include:

    • An examen-like ritual that helps you notice the continued growth of your book and yourself as its author

    • Q+A with me for any aspect of the process as you go

    • Connection and camaraderie with other Bookwifery authors who are growing books too, just like you

    • Intention-setting for continued progress on your book

    We’d love to have you join us once you start the Bookwifery process!

  • The full gestational growth, development, and delivery of your book pregnancy is likely to require an investment of $5,000–$8,000 at Bookwifery.

    The numbers are variable because they depend on the length of the manuscript, the degree of editing required, and the publishing path you choose.

    The good news is, the costs are spread across your book pregnancy. You don’t pay for all of it at once. This ensures your investment follows your gestational stage, making room for its development at the pace of your life’s realities and needs.

  • No. The Bookwifery process is designed to support authors writing in the general nonfiction category—what I call "books that help people."

    They are not designed to support authors writing in the memoir, poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction categories.
