MEET YOUR COACH & EDITOR
Hi, I’m Jessica!
I'm a book coach and business editor helping women transform lived experience into publishable books and profitable businesses.
For years, I helped memoirists uncover the story at the heart of their lives—the one that would resonate with readers, stand out in a crowded market, and become a book they were proud to publish. Along the way, my clients have signed with literary agents, landed Big Five publishing deals, self-published, and brought their stories to life through hybrid publishing.
What surprised me was that the same work kept showing up outside of books.
The entrepreneurs I worked with weren't struggling because they lacked expertise. They were struggling because they couldn't see the thread connecting everything they had lived, learned, and wanted to build. Their marketing felt scattered. Their niche felt too broad. Their offers didn't quite fit together.
That's where I come in.
Today, I help women build businesses around the stories only they can tell. Together, we uncover the throughline beneath your work so your niche becomes clearer, your messaging resonates more deeply, your offers fit together naturally, and your business finally feels like an authentic extension of who you are.
Because the businesses that stand out aren't built by trying to sound like everyone else. They're built by uncovering the thread that's been there all along.
