About Me

Hi. I’m Amy.

I’ve spent more than 20 years in information transformation. In the publishing industry, I shepherded nonfiction authors to publication and increased their exposure and sales. I edited colleagues’ nonfiction work and published my own in academia and after. As a practicing anthropologist working in information architecture (IA), user experience (UX), and design, I collected, analyzed, and synthesized data so that others could solve business problems. Currently, I bring my expertise in the art and science of pattern-finding, sense-making, and structuring information to the nonfiction book you want to write. I make the process manageable - and enjoyable. These are my superpowers.

You want to write a nonfiction book, but you aren’t sure how.

You are skilled in multiple domains and aren’t defined by only one area of expertise. You have an unconventional, nontraditional, or nonlinear background that you are drawing on for your nonfiction book. You feel you lack the expertise—and time—required to manage the monumental project of writing a book and getting it published. You feel stuck and overwhelmed. You are an expert in your field(s), but a nonfiction book is more complex than anything you’ve written before.

If you want to write a nonfiction book based on your experience, then I’m the coach for you.

I love to work with coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, and/or professionals who dream of writing a nonfiction book but feel there’s so much they know they don’t know about writing and publishing that they just don’t even start. I tell you what you need to know and what you can expect so you can get it done, in manageable, bite-sized bits, with accountability.

I bring all my skill sets to you and the nonfiction book you want to write, customized to your strengths, challenges, needs, and goals. You bring your passion and your willingness to work. Let’s make your nonfiction book happen.
