Resources for Book Authors

These resources for book authors include people who have had decades of professional experience in their fields.

Developmental Editor/Ghost Writer

My editing partner, Suzanne Potts (story-whisperer.com), helps authors organize, develop, structure, rewrite, and refine their manuscript. As a ghost writer, she records the memories, impressions, and ideas a person chooses to share and crafts a narrative that retains his or her authentic voice while bringing the story to life.

Indie Author Publishing Strategist

Karen Bomm is the founder of iwillpublish.com. She is a master strategist with a variety of turnkey options to shepherd indie authors and make sure their books are found in bookstores, in libraries, and on Amazon. Her detailed, educational proprietary methods are designed to set up the publishing and author platforms necessary to be highly ranked online. The first book I edited for one of her clients reached number one in five categories on Amazon. For those of you who are self-publishing authors ready to navigate the online jungle and have your voice uniquely heard, make sure Karen is on your team.
