Self-publishing for business owners
Your business has a book in it.
I help coaches, consultants and small business owners write and self-publish a 40,000 word book. The kind that does the talking for you, brings the right people to your door, and makes you the obvious person to call.
Sound familiar?
- You know a book could revolutionise your business, but you don't know what yours could be about.
- You started writing, ran out of steam, and the document has been sitting there ever since.
- You've heard self-publishing is doable, but the process looks like a second job.
That's exactly where I come in.
Why 40,000 words?
Every book I work on is roughly 40,000 words. Long enough to say something worth saying and short enough for people to actually finish it. Just the right length to keep your publishing costs sensible while still doing everything you need it to. A book isn't better for being longer, it's better for being read.

What people say
“I'm absolutely delighted with the finished book, and I honestly don't think it would have happened without Danielle's knowledge, encouragement and support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for guidance and support in bringing their book to life.”

Your book, in your words
I don't believe in using AI to write books.
It might help with planning or research, but the writing is yours. You're the only person who knows your business from the inside, and readers can tell the difference. Most people find that writing the book makes them clearer about what they're offering, which is worth as much as the book itself.
You've got other options
Do it yourself with a self-publishing platform.
A real option if you know what you are writing and are very self-motivated. If that's not you, things can get messy quickly.
Hire a ghostwriter.
Perfect if you're certain you are not a writer. Expect to pay £15,000+
Google it.
Everything you need is out there. So is a lot of misinformation, and a lot of confidently wrong AI answers. It'll take you months, and nobody will tell you how you're doing.
Work with me.
Guidance, accountability, and access to specialists who've worked in the industry and can answer questions about your book. There are costs upfront, but you keep every penny your book earns.
Even a traditional publisher only pays you once they've earned their investment back, and they'll still expect you to do most of your own marketing.
Questions people always ask
Put simply, it's a book that demonstrates your expertise and credibility to potential clients. In a noisy online world, it's a permanent reminder of why you are the person they need.
