Why I Love Supporting Authors
At Confident Authors, my mission is to empower writers to share their stories with the world.
Develop a sacred writing practice: Build a writing rhythm that fits your needs, whatever season you’re in.
Simplify the publishing process: With so many options to choose from, publishing can feel overwhelming. These resources are designed to cut through the noise and give you clear, actionable steps.
Build your confidence: Whether it’s your first book or your tenth, self-doubt can creep in. I’m here to remind you that your voice matters, your story matters, and you absolutely have what it takes to succeed.
Become the author you want to be: Publishing is a journey of self-transformation. I’m here to support your growth and soul evolution as you create a book you’re proud of.
About Me
Hi, I’m Rachel Warmath, the founder of Confident Authors. I’ve been in the publishing world for over a decade as a developmental editor, non-fiction and memoir ghostwriter, and book coach.
I understand the challenges of becoming an author because I’ve been there myself. It’s scary not knowing is my work good enough? Will anyone read it? Not to mention the overwhelming feeling that comes with stepping into the spotlight and putting your work into the world!
Whether you’re just starting out or you’re halfway through writing your book but totally stuck, I created this space for writers like you. We need community and support to make the journey easier and to remind ourselves to have more fun in the process.
My goal is to give you the tools, resources, and confidence to not just publish a book, but to do it in a way that feels authentic to who you are.
