    I’m an Award-Winning Resource, Don’tcha Know?

    I’m so excited to announce that I’ve been voted a top book resource in the 2013 Small Business Book Awards! With over 800 votes, I placed in the top 5 in the Resources category out of 49 nominees.

    This award recognizes important resources that support the creation and publication of books in the business category and/or that support small business owners who are writing books in any category—as a ghostwriter and collaborator, book doctor, editor, and publishing consultant I’ve done both for nearly fifteen years. I’m honored to receive this award, especially because your votes made it possible. Thank you!

    The 2013 Small Business Book Awards, sponsored by Small Business Trends, celebrate the best business books that entrepreneurs, small business owners, CEOs, managers, and their staffs should read. They also recognize important resources supporting authors and the publishing industry. This is the 5th year of this awards initiative.

    The rest of the The Writer’s Ally team and I look forward to continuing our commitment to help authors write and publish their best work. Thanks again to all of you who voted—we truly appreciate your support!
