Hey There— Chad Here!
I spent over two decades in traditional publishing, acquiring and developing books and guiding them to market—including numerous national bestsellers. I loved most of the work, but there was a dark side: turning down talented writers who just needed the right support.
I knew if I could spend a little time with those writers, I could help them get their books into the world. That idea lit me up. So in 2012, I started a blog, which slowly built a significant following. I began coaching writers on the side—and I absolutely loved it.
In 2018, I left my corporate job to support writers full-time, and I’ve never looked back. I’ve helped hundreds of authors write and successfully publish their books. I’d love to help you, too.
