Many would-be authors stop writing their book (or never start) because they feel overwhelmed.
My unique Podcast2Book offering simplifies the process by revealing that your book may already be written, or well on the way there, if you have a podcast.
Let me show you how simple it can be to write and publish a book.
Can I turn my podcast into a book?
If you're asking yourself whether you can turn your podcast into a book, you've found the right page. Yes, it's possible, and it's a great idea. (The books in the moving image to the left all started as podcasts.)
"Genevieve's professionalism, skill, and coaching turned my podcast into a bestselling book."
—Kelly Parker Palace, Author & Podcaster
The truth is, you may have already written your book without realizing it. If you have a podcast with solo episodes where you share stories and ideas that are meaningful to you, it's likely your book already exists in audio form.
Did you know many authors use dictation to write their books?
Readers love the conversational style that results when books are written via dictation and transcription. As a podcaster or someone who has recorded original content, you may already have enough value-packed recorded material for an inspiring full-length book. Turning your recorded words into a book requires putting time, effort, and research into:
Ideation (What central idea holds your book together? Is this the right book for you to write?)
Developmental editing (shaping the flow of the book)
Transcription
Line editing
Copyediting
Document design
Cover design
Market research
Launch lead-up
Advance reader recruitment
Indie book publishing
It takes time to research, learn, and implement each of these steps at the quality level you're aiming for with your book. You probably have things you'd rather do with your time. Or you may simply know your life and business are best served by partnering with experts. That's where I come in, along with the trusted publishing professionals I collaborate with.
As a book doula, writing coach, and editor, I support clients with podcasts or recorded audio content through the process of completing and independently publishing their books. This path is sometimes called team publishing, because you're self-publishing with the guidance of experienced publishing professionals.
With team publishing, you keep ownership of your book, including all the publishing rights and creative control. You'll move faster than you could through traditional publishing, you won't have to wait to earn out an advance before royalties start coming in, and you'll earn a much higher royalty rate on every copy sold.
Details
In this offering (Podcast2Book), we'll take some of your podcast episodes and turn them into a published book available for purchase on Amazon. By design, this offering is a low time investment for you, while you maintain creative control and, of course, all legal publishing rights. As your book coach, I'll apply more than fifteen years of experience in writing, editing, and publishing to save you many hours of work.
I'll repurpose what you've already created into a new format and support you at the level you need to overcome the obstacles standing between you and your published book.
Once you have your manuscript, and you love how it reads and looks, I'll guide you through publishing via Kindle Direct Publishing or learning about other publishing paths. Cover design and sales page content are included. That means within a matter of months you could have your book launched.
I'll even let you in on the secrets I've learned when it comes to launching your book and giving it every possible chance to stand out as an Amazon Best Seller.
Authoring a book can help you grow your audience so you can reach even more people. My clients also enjoy the additional income stream of monthly book royalties.
"Thank you SO much for your certainty each step of the way and for sharing with me what I hadn't seen — that my book was already written."
—Danielle Brooker, Author & Joy Coach

Why Hire Genevieve?
Hire me because you want to take the confusion and costly trial and error out of today's book writing and publishing process. I can help you smooth out the bumps on your journey through writing and indie publishing a book.
I've been on this journey myself: I've written and self-published seven books of my own, including the Amazon bestseller Minimalist Living: Decluttering for Joy, Health, and Creativity, which has been downloaded more than 90,000 times.
A little more about me: I majored in Creative Writing at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2007, I moved out west. After spending three years studying story and screenwriting in Hollywood, California, I began professionally mentoring other screenwriters and offering script consultations. For more than fifteen years since, I've collaborated with writers and other creatives all over the world as a coach, editor, script doctor, ghostwriter, book coach, and publishing consultant.
Whether you call me your editor, your book doula, your ghostwriter, your publishing coach, or some other creative term, I'm all about helping you tell your story with love, and then hit "publish." It takes dedication and accountability to reach the moment you're holding your published book in your hands. Let me help you create a book that builds your business, extends the reach of your message, and makes the world a better place.

Pricing
Pricing depends on the book's length, the complexity of the project, and which deliverables are included in your package.
My clients usually opt to publish independently through Amazon's KDP program, which offers print-on-demand paperback and hardcover along with simple distribution for eBooks and audiobooks. It's the route I recommend for writers and leaders who don't yet have literary representation, and guidance through KDP publishing is included in every package.
