The road to publishing a book is a path of self-discovery.

At times it can feel light, spacious, inviting, and curious.

And at other times, it can feel heavy and dark.

Every author ends up journeying into the dark cave of their own insecurities, fears, and doubts when they go to put their work out into the world. It’s very normal to have questions like:

Who am I to write a book?
Will anyone care?
What if no one reads this?
What if my family and friends judge me when they read it?
Hasn’t this already been said before?
Why would anyone care to hear this from me?
Do I really have what it takes to write and publish a book?

As a book shaman, memoir ghostwriter, and writing coach, I hear these sorts of concerns from authors all the time. It is very, very normal to feel this way. To worry. To wonder. To fear the unknown.

The beautiful thing is: when you have the right support, those fears no longer stop you.

Whether you're writing your book solo or working with a ghostwriter, your story deserves to be honored, held, and brought to life with care.

If those kinds of questions have been bothering you, I invite you to ask three better questions:

Why this book?
Why me?
Why now?

Once you know the bigger why behind your book, you will have something to pull you forward on the hard days.

10 Things to Focus on in Your Author Journey (Instead of Letting Your Mind Spin Out of Control)

Focus on your ‘Why.’
Why does this story matter to you? What fire burns in your belly to write it down?
Focus on one reader.
Picture her. The woman who needs this book. She’s hurting. What does she need to hear right now? Write just for her.
Focus on the one next tiny step forward.
You don’t have to write the whole thing today. You just have to show up and be honest.
Focus on your younger self.
Write the book you wish you had 10 years ago. Let it be a gift across time.
Focus on the act of service that book writing truly is.
Sharing your truth heals more people than you’ll ever know. Your story creates ripple effects.
Focus on the wisdom in your wounds.
The hard things you’ve been through have given you perspective, courage, and voice. Now it’s time to transform those challenges into little jewels every reader will find along the way as they read your book.
Focus on the energy of completion.
Imagine the joy of holding your finished book. The breath of relief. The power of being done.
Focus on your soul’s voice.
You are not writing from ego—you are writing from a deeper place. A place of truth, intuition, and legacy. Tap into that energy.
Focus on the sacred container.
You don’t have to do this alone. Working with a memoir ghostwriter or writing coach means you're supported at every step. One of the absolute best ways to ensure success as an author is to surround yourself with a supportive community.
Focus on the transformation within.
Writing the book is the healing. Every draft. Every edit. It’s all taking you farther inward to who you want to become.

A Sacred Invitation

If you’re a writer looking for support on your journey to becoming an author, I’d love to connect with you! I specialize in memoir, non-fiction, and poetry books. I also have a number of fiction authors who I support in a women’s writing group.

I currently have space for new memoir ghostwriting clients as well. Working with me as a ghostwriter means I walk with you into your story and support the inner transformation that’s happening as your book is created.

Writing a memoir is not just about sharing what happened. It’s about revealing who you became—and who you’re still becoming.

This is why memoir ghostwriting isn’t just a writing service. It’s a soul-to-soul collaboration. A sacred, alchemical process.

If you’re ready to step into authorship but feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or afraid to do it alone—
Know this: you don’t have to.

When you work with a ghostwriter who honors your voice and your healing, the process becomes more than doable—it becomes transformational.

Let’s co-create the book that only you can write. One that will change your life, and the lives of everyone who reads it. ✨ Feel free to reach out about your book project and I’ll be in touch within 48 hours.
