Helping writers finish their books

I help stuck writers finally finish their books—without second-guessing every sentence—so they can hold the finished thing in their hands and say, “I did it.”

Everyone dreams of writing a book. Almost no one finishes.

These numbers don’t lie—and they’re exactly why I do what I do.

About Me

Hi, I’m Rachel.

I’m a 4x published author, a book coach, story consultant, and former agency owner who now helps writers (just like you) finally finish the books they’ve been dreaming about for years.

Yes—I’m a proud mom of 3, wife, and dog-mom too.

Also: a little dramatic (Leo energy), fueled by tea, probably editing something in my head right now, and clearly not afraid to strike a silly pose mid-book brainstorm.
(👈🏻 Exhibit A)

What I’m really obsessed with?

Helping people find their voice, shape their story, and get their words out into the world—where they belong.

The Work That Made This My Mission...

500+

Helped over 500 first-time authors go from blank page to published—with memoirs, message-driven nonfiction, and stories that truly connect.

NYT-Level

Worked with New York Times bestselling authors and top speakers—so I know what great books really look like (and how to get you there too).

$33M+

Built a 6-figure agency and helped my clients bring in over $33 million—but now I’m using everything I know to help writers like you. Through 1:1 coaching and author-focused courses, I’m on a mission to make sure powerful stories don’t die quiet deaths in Google Docs.

Featured

Published in outlets like Medium, FastCompany, HuffPo—because messaging isn’t just about what you say, but how clearly your audience hears it.

30 years

Have been married to the love of my life for 30 years now, and still as in love today as I was when I was 18 years old. We have three amazing kids together, and they are all awesome human beings. ❤️

4x

I'm a 4x published author, with dozens of ghostwritten books under my belt too!

The Proof Is In The Pudding

See What People Are Saying:

"I’ve looked at soooo many programs on “get your book written with our help!” And while they may be a hair cheaper (not much really), you offer SOO MUCH MORE!! I am glad I was patient enough to find the best! Honestly, I’ll continue working with you in all aspects if it helps me get through the hard stuff! Having a community to reach out to and share our struggles makes it all the best."

Vicky Q.First-Time Author
