From idea to completed book in 8 weeks—done for you.

It takes a lot of work to write a book. It also takes a lot of time. That’s why 97% of people who start writing a book never finish it—let alone publish it. Even the traditional ghostwriting process takes most of a year, if not longer. My Swift Book Method® slashes that timeline by 90% or more. I can get you a completed, high-quality book in 8 weeks or less.  

My journey from struggling writer to a successfully published bestselling nonfiction author would never have happened if I hadn't had the great opportunity to work with editor/book coach/writer extraordinaire Nicole.

I don't even know what to say about this brilliant Word Wizard. Without her, I’m not sure you’d be reading my book.

What does author success look like? 

Each author defines their own success terms. Some want to generate the credibility that only a book can offer. Others simply want to leave a legacy. I work with each author to ensure we define goals upfront and use the book to align their project with their ultimate vision. 

Kevin Casey

Kevin thought it would take him 6-8 months to write his book. In the end, it took him almost 3 years. We didn’t connect until near the end of his process, when he described his manuscript as “a steaming hot pile of pages.”

​

He provided all the genius and laugh-out-loud text and I got his book straightened out to give him back more of his valuable time.

​

Imagine what he could have saved if he came to me from the start.

​

Kevin’s remarkable book secured a valuable endorsement from author, executive, and household name Seth Godin.

​

In the year since publishing, Kevin has sold nearly 10,000 copies—without any paid advertising.

​

His book has unlocked many new opportunities. Kevin increased his LinkedIn following to nearly 10,000 followers without trying, has grown his email list and outreach through his website, and booked multiple speaking engagements (where the companies buy his book for the audience).

​

He’s only getting started.

The Swift Book Method® Comparison Chart

[1] Anything can happen, but not completing a manuscript would be highly abnormal here.

[2] According to Business Insider, only 30 of every 1,000 people who set out to write a book will finish a manuscript and only 6 of those people will actually publish. A 0.6% success rate isn’t very encouraging. (In other words, only 3% will finish a manuscript and only 20% of that 3% will go on to publish.)

[3] Best estimates from available industry information. Many authors drop out upon seeing the long road ahead of them.
