From Book to Business.
You have a book inside you: a body of knowledge, an important story to tell, or a methodology you've been living and refining for years. Also, somewhere in the back of your mind, you've always sensed that a book is only the beginning!
That instinct is right, and that’s right where I come in.
I work with authors and would-be authors at the intersection of writing and building: helping them get the book written and building out the business that grows from it. These two things happen at the same time, by design, because the process of articulating your ideas on the page is also the process of discovering what you're actually building, what other people need from it, and what it can become.
Most ghostwriters hand you a manuscript. I work with you in partnership on something much bigger.
The Process
What this looks like.
The Writing Side
The writing side of our work is a real collaboration. I function as a ghostwriter, co-author, and/or editorial partner, doing the interviewing, the deep listening, the drafting, the shaping, and the editing that turns what you know into a book that's actually worth reading. This is all your voice and ideas coupled with my craft and structure.
The Business Side
The business side runs concurrently. As the book takes shape, we're also mapping out the larger opportunity: What programs, courses, or workshops could live inside this material? What does your positioning look like as an expert in this space? Who is the audience, and how do you reach them? What does the business look like after the book launches?
“I truly believe that the path that led me to Leanne was guided. She is one of those angels who came into my life at exactly the right time.
I had an idea for a book, a somewhat unconventional one, and Leanne immediately saw something in it that I wasn't even sure I could bring into reality. She recognized my unique voice, understood what I was trying to offer, and helped me begin to birth something that I had only dreamed was possible.
What I love most about Leanne is that she sees the bigger picture. She doesn't just see a book or a project. She sees all the possibilities for what it could become, the people it could touch, and the ways it could be of service in the world. And she makes me believe in all of it, too!
Every single time I talk with Leanne, I come away feeling inspired, energized, and (almost) ready to quit my day job to follow this passion! She has this incredible ability to make what once seemed like a distant dream feel entirely possible, almost within reach. And when I'm ready to take the next leap, I know she'll be right there beside me.
I truly couldn't have imagined or manifested a better writing partner for my upcoming book, Mortality Illuminated. I adore her brightness, her joy, her vision, and the confidence and wisdom she brings to helping women find their voices and bring their unique gifts into the world.
I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed. Working with Leanne has been so much more than writing a book. It has been an invitation to believe in what's possible.”

The right partner
This is for people who have something real to say and want to build something real around it. That might look like:
01
A practitioner, coach, or consultant who is ready to codify their methodology into a book and a broader offer suite.
02
A nonprofit leader whose work deserves a wider audience and a written foundation.
03
A founder or executive with a story and a point of view that's been waiting for the right format.
04
Someone who has been circling the idea of writing a book for years and finally wants to put pen to paper.
Why Writing And Business Belong Together
A book written in isolation tends to stay isolated: it gets published, it gets celebrated for a week, and then it sits there. When the writing process is integrated with strategic thinking about what comes after - what you're teaching, who you're reaching, what you're building - the book becomes the foundation of something bigger and longer-lasting.
This is the work I find most exciting: helping someone take an idea that has been living entirely inside their head and turn it into something the world can actually engage with.
I don't offer band-aids - I build with you, for real. If you're ready to commit to your next level, let's start with a 1:1 conversation.
