Join the Author LabWork with Leslie
Whether you need clarity, structure, or guidance all the way through publication, the work begins with where you are, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
I work with expertise-driven nonfiction, story-led books, and selected memoir projects.

Hands-on coaching through structure, writing, publication, positioning, and the pieces most authors discover too late.
Ask about the AcceleratorGetting it done feels so much more possible. I felt very chaotic and wasn’t sure where to go. This process helped me get unstuck, get my head on straight, and see the direction I need to take. I love the collaborative process. It feels like Leslie is on a team with me.

The connected book strategy
The Author Accelerator connects all four, but you do not have to arrive at the beginning. An existing manuscript, an upcoming launch, or a book that is not creating opportunities can each be a valid starting point.
Clarify the reader, promise, purpose, message, stories, and chapter path.
Write, speak, edit, restructure, or strengthen the manuscript using a process that fits you.
Publish, package, and launch it with the descriptions, categories, keywords, A+ content, reviews, and assets it needs.
Turn the book into authority, conversations, speaking opportunities, clients, and a useful pathway into your work.
Not sure where you fit?
You do not need to diagnose your own book problem before we talk.
