There are five aspects of the Quantum Shift Publishing Program. They often overlap each other through the entire process. You can join the program no matter where you are in your writing journey.
Author Coaching - we meet twice a month to talk about your book and answer any questions about writing, cover designs, marketing, and more. The private Facebook Group is a great place to get feedback from other writers in the program and post questions in between our group calls. These coaching sessions are where we get our hands dirty and come up with a customized plan that works for you.
Writing & Revising - we will help you write the first draft of your book and give you feedback on your writing. We also provide a professional book assessment and will one round of proofing. We also offer editing services at a reduced rate.
Book Strategy - we'll help you formulate a comprehensive strategy for your book sales, where you can sell them, how much money you can make from each strategy and how you can use your book in your business to bring in more clients and open more opportunities.
Book Production - you'll get a professionally designed book delivered to your door. And people can order it online anywhere.
Marketing & Launch- we put together a detailed marketing and launch plan that you can
customized and implement to ensure your book is wild success when it is published.
I have been working with authors for over 25 years getting their books written, edited, published, and marketed. I've worked on self-help books, children's books, young reader books, college textbooks, autobiographies, fiction, collaborative books, and coffee table art books. I've also ghost-written many books for authors.
I am passionate about helping authors get published because I know the impact a book can have not only on the reader but on your business. It can open doors to opportunities you never dreamed possible.
When I work with you I connect to the energy of you and your book to create a quantum shift in your project so that you can have the impact you want.
Your book has a life of its own … and when you allow it, it leads and guides you where it wants to go. And that journey can be so fun!

Here are some major benefits of what it can do for you and your business. For more reasons, read my blog
1. Personal credibility - Lead Generator. When you write your book as a lead generator, it can be a source of new clients. Potential clients are looking for solutions to their problems. They are drawn to and influenced by people who are confident about what they do. Your book is a statement of confidence. With your bio and contact info at the back, readers often book sessions for additional work once they’ve read your book. It can draw new clients right to you.
2. Business Tool. Your book can also be used as a tool in your business. It can be required reading saving you time going over the same material with each client. It can be broken down into sections for course curriculum leading your clients through standard steps.
3. Multiple Revenue Streams. In addition to making money from book sales, you can have revenue coming in from other avenues as well. Repurpose your book into articles, speeches, webinars, videos, and course content. Each of these can be an additional revenue stream.
4. Authority and Expertise Opens Speaking Gigs. Your nonfiction book often requires research and often interviews with experts. This research makes you the authority and opens up opportunities to land being on podcasts and booking speaking gigs on your topic. Speaking gigs is the best way to make a bigger impact and bring in more clients.
5. Credibility and Influence. Being a published author alone gives you and your business credibility. People think you're smarter and the expert when you are published. It raises the bar in your business. When you're the expert clients begin to see you in a whole different light and you have the ability to raise your prices.
Your next step is to schedule your book consultation call with Keren. This is a no pressure call and at the very least, you will walk away with clear instructions on what to do next even if you choose to do it yourself.
