Books surface when stepping aside, and open livelihood when stepping in.

Writing without the writer. Business without the marketer.

Free guide to clear your writing blocks for good.

We all carry beliefs around writing. That was never the issue. Some just stand in the way of letting the book surface. A simple reminder can shift this instantly.

So I gathered every belief I’ve come across and added a useful pointer to each. The free guide is 65 pages. Each reminder is rooted in stepping aside and letting your book come through.

Playground of Stepping Aside.

"When I gave up authorship, the books in me were set free."
