About Leslie
I’m not your typical book strategist.
Before I helped experts write and publish books, I owned a ranch, guided sea-kayak tours in Alaska, fixed windmills, ran a multicultural center, worked with nonprofits, and built businesses from the ground up.
The unpolished path
I’ve lived the messy, real-world version of entrepreneurship.
Like many experts, I spent years in a frustrating relationship with marketing. I did the “right things,” tried the strategies, spent the money, and followed the formulas. Yet too often my message still felt forced or failed to land.
What changed everything was recognizing that your story isn’t separate from your expertise. Authority grows when your ideas, experience, and perspective are shaped into something people can understand, trust, and share.
Wild Woman Marketing was one chapter in that path, a place where I learned to see story as strategy. That work ultimately led me to books: one of the most durable strategic assets an expert can create, and one that is too rarely used to its full potential.
The right book does exactly that.
The old playbook is overdue for a rewrite.FIND YOUR VOICE. PICK UP A PEN. BUST DOWN THE DOOR.
The work today
Amplifying voices that deserve to be heard.
I help experts turn what they know into strategic nonfiction books that build authority, expand visibility, and support the businesses they are here to grow.
My approach combines practical frameworks, hands-on guidance, strategic storytelling, and AI-powered tools when they genuinely help. The technology can support the process. It never gets to replace the author.
Leslie helped me reconnect with my truth, with myself, and with what matters. I didn’t expect that to happen after five days. I didn’t realize how connected I was to my book or how important it was for me to finish it.

Beyond the book
Powerful on Purpose
The podcast is one expression of a bigger belief: when people understand the stories shaping their work and lives, they can use their voices with greater clarity and purpose.
Technology with purpose
AI should reduce friction, not humanity.
Leslie also develops voice-first and custom AI workflows that help people organize ideas, repurpose meaningful content, and spend less time trapped in administrative work.
