Spark your creativity through writing.

Do you have a message that could help someone? Do you have a story that needs to be told? Are you giving away your business that could be making you money? Are you a writer who is looking for answers to questions you don’t even know to ask?

The Author Academy helps you understand the pathway from writer to published author, but there are a few things you need to do first.

  • Make good decisions based on understanding realistic, relevant, and responsible options.
  • Distinguish between discipline and commitment.
  • Understand the growth mindset.
  • Build confidence, save time, save money.
  • Ask better questions.
  • Explore what you don’t know about the writer’s life and the business side of writing.
  • Turn your ideas into an article, pamphlet, manuscript, or book.
  • Get ready to shift from writer to published author.

If you are looking for step-by-step guidance, with personal coaching, I help you make the best decisions for you, the author. Regardless of whether you are creating a children’s book, a business advice book, a speaker’s leave-behind marketing book, a novel, poetry, memoir, or any other genre, I help you get started and keep going. Writing is an art, but publishing is a business.

But if writing isn’t your thing, I can also help craft newsletter articles, blog posts, reports, and other scripts to help you communicate more effectively. Having been published in trade journals for over 20 years and publishing a blog, I can offer insights about the next steps to take after the first step.

Pat shows people the value of the work they do, helps identify their personal goals, and uses that to achieve the large goals of the organization. Helped to identify my strengths, refine my leadership skills, and showed me the true meaning of leadership.
