Writing a book can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. You have a million ideas in the shower, but as soon as you put pen to paper a mental block hijacks your brain.

With the right guidance and support you can write and publish a book to be proud of. A book that can build a raving fanbase, attract people into your business, or simply reach the people that most need your message.

A book that is desperate to be written. If only you knew where to start, or the next step to take...

Luckily, I have your back.

IT'S TIME TO WRITE THE BOOK THAT'S BURNING IN YOUR SOUL AND GET IT OUT INTO THE WORLD.

Hi, I'm Michelle, artist, writer, author and compiler of various books (Boys Do Cry, Uncaged: The Rise of the Badass, Not Another Parenting Book), illustrator (Just As You Are, The Sockness Monster, The Fairy Trail, Ted and His Patches, Babs the Mystical Moon Mercat) and book designer (of many). I get so much joy helping indie authors fulfil their book publishing dream! From editing, ghostwriting and publishing, to design, illustration and marketing, I've been involved in every step of the self-publishing process.

[Fun facts: I'm obsessed with avocados, campervans, Freddie Mercury, bees, the smell of spring and THAT smell after the rain; wife to Steve and mum of two (plus a hyper cockapoo).

I’m so glad I finally bit the bullet and talked to Michelle about getting my story from an old notepad in to a real life book. Without her guidance and the beautiful expression of the characters, I’d still be talking about a pipe dream. I’m so proud of what she has enabled me to achieve.

Your ability to take our story and bring it to life is amazing – and well exceeded our expectations. You have made this whole process enjoyable and stress free for us and we cannot thank you enough for the expertise, skill, compassion, and patience…

CO-AUTHOR OF TED AND HIS PATCHES

Working with Michelle on the design of my book cover was an absolute dream. She is the perfect book designer: intuitive, gifted and an excellent communicator. She gave me a really classic yet eye catching cover and I am so happy every time I see it. I highly recommend working with Michelle.

Kara Grant

AUTHOR OF DITCH THE PEOPLE PLEASER

Michelle is so skilled and her ideas were more than just good, they were excellent, and through her illustrations she brought my story to life and helped me fulfil my dream of becoming an author. Now I have a children’s book to be truly proud of.

You are one step closer to fulfilling your dream.

Imagine a year from now—book in hand, 5* reviews on Amazon and/or Goodreads, fans eagerly awaiting book two, DMs from strangers thanking you because your book helped them through a difficult time...

Imagine being interviewed about your book—in a newspaper, on a podcast, maybe on TV...

Imagine your business growing off the back of your book—speaking gigs, high-end clients, collaborations, a full- (or part-) time writing career...

Time to make this your new reality.
