You won’t just write — you’ll be mentored by someone who’s done it at the highest level.

I have ideas, but I’m not a writer — can you still help?

Absolutely. Whether you want to write it yourself with coaching or have us do the writing for you, we work with you to turn your ideas into a polished, professional product.

What’s the difference between Book Coaching and Ghostwriting, and how do I know which one I need?

Book Coaching is ideal if you want to write your own book but need expert structure, guidance, and accountability. You’re the writer — we’re your guide.

Ghostwriting is perfect if you have a message but no time (or desire) to write it yourself. We take your ideas and voice and write the entire manuscript for you.

Both options result in a professionally written book — the choice depends on how hands-on you want to be.

How long does it take to finish a book or story project?

It depends on the scope, but most book coaching or ghostwriting projects range from 3 to 6 months. Short-form content or signature story development can often be completed in a few weeks.

Will my content sound like me — or just generic writing?

Everything we write is tailored to sound like your voice, reflect your message, and connect with your audience. We’re storytellers who specialize in capturing your tone and truth.

How can I schedule a consultation with Focused Driven Lifestyle Coaching?

imple — book a Story Casting Discovery Call to talk about your vision, your message, and how we can bring it to life together.

Do you only help with writing, or do you help with marketing and promotion too?

We go beyond just helping you publish — we help you build a platform around your book. That includes strategies to market, promote, and sell your book through speaking, social media, podcast interviews, and digital product development so you can generate real revenue, not just have a title on your shelf.

Can you help me turn my book into a keynote talk or a virtual training program?

Absolutely. One of our specialties is helping authors repurpose their book content into high-impact keynote talks, workshops, and online courses. Your story becomes more than just a book — it becomes your brand message, income stream, and movement.

What exactly is Signature Story Development, and why does it matter?

Your signature story is more than just a personal anecdote — it’s a powerful positioning tool that connects emotionally with your audience, builds trust, and makes your message unforgettable. We help you identify, shape, and structure your core story in a way that resonates and converts — whether you’re speaking on stage, in interviews, or online.

What is Authority Content Branding, and how can it grow my business?

Authority Content Branding is all about positioning you as the go-to expert in your space. We help you create strategic, high-impact written content — articles, blogs, lead magnets, newsletters, even white papers — that builds trust, educates your audience, and drives leads. It’s more than content — it’s a visibility and credibility engine for your brand.
