About

If you’re reading this site, I’m pretty sure I already know three things about you.

1. You want to create a modern personal masterpiece.

Let’s break that down.

A masterpiece is something that’s finely crafted, refined, polished, beautiful. Something not just anyone could create.

A personal masterpiece is all those things…but it’s also unmistakably yours. Its beauty and power are fueled by your voice, your story, your emotion, your life.

And a modern personal masterpiece is something that will inspire, empower, touch hearts and blow minds for readers today. It’s topical, it’s powerful, it sells, and it’s applicable right now.

Maybe that’s an ebook that establishes your authority and gets you a flood of speaking and consulting gigs. Maybe it’s a series of articles that drives an avalanche of traffic to your business. Maybe it’s the story of your journey told so poignantly that readers can’t hold back triumphant tears. Whatever it is, it can’t be mediocre.

2. You know what you’ve created thus far, while good, isn’t a masterpiece yet.

You’ve made some great notes and plans on this text. Maybe you’ve written a draft (or several). You might even have a complete product. But you know it’s not where you want it to be yet. You’ve got an awesome vision of the finished masterpiece, and you know that some more work will get it there. But…

3. You can’t take it the rest of the way alone.

…you also know that you can’t be the one to do it. You don’t have any more time. You’ve done your absolute best work already and know it’s not enough. You know what you want, but you don’t have the experience or expertise to make it happen. Or else you’ve given it all the energy you have and you just need to be done.

You need someone you can trust to shape, polish and finish your masterpiece.

You need a master wordsmith.
