Book consulting

Book consulting for authors

I'm pleased to announce that I'm now available to help select clients write, enhance, edit and publish the book they have inside them! I offer a free half hour telephone consultation for those who qualify.

"Karen's insightful comments and helpful suggestions broadened my work's perspective. I was 100% satisfied with Karen's efforts."  Richard S. Todd, author of Raincloud

I've learned alot while writing and publishing Moondance (which has won a number of awards) and I'm now ready to share what I know to help others accelerate their publication process through my book consulting services. 

Along with the business principles I learned during my MBA, I also use the ancient principles of karmic astrology (information about your soul's purpose) to enhance my book consulting services.

Ghost writing and business books

I have spent the past fifteen years ghost-writing for business and managing communication projects, from writing to distribution. If your organization is writing a book, I may be able to help, so don't hesitate to get in touch.
