I absolutely LOVE helping writers bring their writing projects to fruition and I’ve been lucky enough to work with simply awe-inspiring, uber motivated clients, both through one-on-one coaching and through my online courses.

I’m blown away by the big things these writers continue to achieve in their writing lives, and as a wrap up for 2015, I wanted to share with you some of their passion-fueled creations and publishing highlights of the past year. Exciting stuff … I can’t wait to see what 2016 brings!


14 DaysLisa Goich’s
 book 14 Days: A Memoir was published by Savio Republic in November 2015. Lisa’s memoir, which includes a forward by Mitch Albom, is a story of parental loss, and how to lovingly, bravely and gracefully let go of a hand you’ve been holding your entire life. From a child’s first breath, to a mother’s last, this memoir shows how closing that circle can be a celebration of this unbreakable bond.

It’s a collection of essays by 35 writers about all sorts of postpartum struggles.
