Your Author’s Voice

Whoever I help to write, edit, design or publish their book I come from the place of being an author first.

As an author, I didn’t want someone else/a company dictating to me how my author voice should sound.

What was that about?

I wasn’t here to fit into someone else’s box – never was and never will be, so I certainly wasn’t with my publication.

Don’t forget – a published book creates a legacy – it’s forever, in black and white – get it right the first time.

One of the most important factors with whoever I work with is that their book is written in their voice and no-one else’s – their tone, the language they use, the style.

They receive solid and loving guidance and structure but their book is the essence of their true being and they own their book, the full copyrights – I have no interest in owning their work.

As an author, I didn’t want to keep paying out royalties to someone else forever once it was published, not after all of my hard work and effort had gone into the writing of it.

That never felt aligned to me and is why I never work that way either. I get paid to help someone with a service and then that’s it, they keep their sales. Everything belongs to them, the new author and I cheer them on every step of the way.

THE INVISIBLE GIRL

You can read my full story here, from when I was ten years old and what happened to me. I was admitted to a psychiatric unit at fifteen and continued to suffer throughout my adult life with feelings of self-hatred, fear, darkness and not knowing who I was. I used addictions to help me to cope on the outside when the inside was chaotic. I finally found my healing and had a burning desire to share this with the universe to give love, hope and inspiration to others in pain.

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass

Anton Chekhov
