BW: marketing and authorhood + book coaching + your time to rise

Hi, Reader,

If you set a goal to write a book in 2025, here’s something to encourage you beyond the end goal of the book itself:

Authorhood will transform you.

Every time I coach a new author through the book-writing process, I’m humbled by the profound transformation they undergo.

To the outside world, the change may be subtle. To the author, the change is identity-shifting and life-changing. Why? Because the journey of authorhood is one of intentionality, deep thought, and extraordinary discipline.

I’ve experienced this myself. Each book I write, whether my own or for/with someone else, changes me. I go inward. I challenge my thinking. I explore ideas and push for clarity.

The journey of writing a book is one of the deepest, most profound journeys anyone will go on in their entire lives.

So if you’re working toward that goal, lean in. It will transform you.

5 secrets to wrting a book that scales your revenue and impact

Featured author: Christina Del Villar, growth marketing leader

I had the best time working with author Christina Del Villar on her book, Sway. The book helped launch her go-to-market strategy consulting business. Not only is Christina a brilliant thinker and a blast to work with, but she was a dedicated writer and committed to the deep work needed to clarify her framework and write a compelling book.

Here’s what Christina had to say about our work together:

“Stacy, Stacy. Where do I even start? No seriously, Stacy, where do I start? That was the question I had when I started this journey a few months back. I knew I needed help writing a book on my marketing methodology. Stacy to the rescue!

She guided me with her thoughtful process and coaching, and now my book is being published by a highly competitive publisher. I have been able to expand into other offerings that support and complement my book, increasing my income and influence. She made everything so easy. I wholeheartedly recommend Stacy.”
