Hi Reader, I want to tell you about Karen. When she came to me at the end of last year, she'd been trying to write her memoir for years, the story of living most of her life in a body she didn't want, and her journey as a transgender woman. She had the story. She had the urgency. What she didn't have was a finish line. So she enrolled in my program, Write Your Book in 120 Days. Then she did something most aspiring memoirists never do. She showed up. Every week, Karen wrote 4,000–5,000 words. She followed the structure. She trusted the process. 120 days later, she had a finished manuscript. But she didn't stop there. She asked me to help her self-publish, so my publishing team and I walked her through editing, cover design, and launch. Today, Karen's memoir is out in the world.
She's selling copies to friends and coworkers. She set up a booth outside Staples. She's promoting on social media. She's lining up book tours, speaking engagements, and signings at churches and local bookshops. From "I've been meaning to write this for years" → published author with a real audience. In a matter of months. Here's the thing Reader, I work with a lot of people who've been carrying a book in their head for years. The story is there. The urgency is there. What's missing is almost never talent. It's a structure, a deadline, and someone who's done this before walking alongside them. That's what the program is. That's what Karen had. If you've been telling yourself "someday" about your book — and you're starting to suspect someday isn't coming on its own — let's talk. I'm opening up a few free 30-minute discovery calls this month for people who are ready to actually start. No pitch, no pressure. We'll talk about your book, where you're stuck, and whether the program is the right fit. You can book the free call here. Karen's story is out in the world now. Yours could be too. Talk soon, Natasha P.S. You can find Karen's memoir here, and if you want a glimpse of what's possible when someone with a story finally decides to finish it, her book is exactly that. |

Hi friends, It's been a while, and it's time for an update on what's been going on with my writing business. Things are going well, and I can finally say I have a steady stream of income and recurring clients. It took me years to get to this point and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (to use a cliche), but I'm finally there. Here is a bit of what has been going on in the past few months: 📖 I'm now publishing my clients' books through my own imprint. I now have a full self-publishing support...
She found me on LinkedIn. That's worth noting, because if you're reading this, you're probably the kind of person who finds people on LinkedIn and then talks yourself out of sending the message. Rasha Oudeh sent that DM because she had a goal and she was determined. She already had enough material for a book. What she didn't have yet was the shape, and that gap, between having a book in you and having a book. This is exactly the reason book coaching exists. So I want to walk you through what...
Hi Reader, Time for real honesty here. I'm going to be vulnerable, so buckle up! I used to think amazing success stories only happened to other writers. That big clients were reserved for the lucky ones. For all the tech bros online who keep flexing. That I was too “suburban mom,” too invisible, too… ordinary. These things don't happen to me. Not in the cards for me (or whatever limiting beliefs I used to tell myself). Once a suburban mom, always a suburban mom Until I sent one DM. Yes, one...
