"Nicole helped me craft a 3-year roadmap to guide everything from booking developmental edits to tackling marketing strategy so I could stay laser-focused on the work that needed to be done each month and ignore the shiny objects."

helping authors get paid since 2011

MEET NICOLE

Nicole is a different kind of partner — one built for what authors actually need now, not what the industry decided they needed decades ago.

After eighteen years in publishing, she now works privately with authors to strategize and execute. This can mean manuscript development, deal structure and rights negotiation, connecting the right editors, producers, or narrators to a project, building online presence, or simply keeping an author on track when the path gets complicated.

As a strategic advisor, she helps you understand the full value of your work, structure your deals wisely, and build IP that compounds.
