Why I started All Girl Publishing

In this exciting time for women, our voices carry weight and power. I aim to give every woman an opportunity to tell her story.
We know a lot. We have something to say. But we need to find the right avenue for our ideas.
As Maya Angelou said,
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside yourself.”
I started All Girl Publishing to provide a pathway for women to produce their movies ad publish their manuscripts. If this resonates with you, if you have an untold story, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Why I started All Girl Publishing

01

We work on your story together

Through coaching and developmental editing, we find the shape of your book. Is it a memoir? A collection of short stories? Essays? Or is it fiction: a cozy mystery? A thriller? Is it literary fiction? Together, we can define your genre and keep your story on track.

02

We get it ready for the world

Through coaching and developmental editing, we find the shape of your book. Is it a memoir? A collection of short stories? Essays? Or is it fiction: a cozy mystery? A thriller? Is it literary fiction? Together, we can define your genre and keep your story on track.

03

Your book goes out under my imprint, All Girl Publishing. You pay no royalties, ever.

04

We help you find readers

Through coaching and developmental editing, we find the shape of your book. Readers want to know you. Start with a website, then Substack and other social media. Book clubs. Local Bookstores. Conferences. These are your starting points. Writers tend to be shy. But I think of marketing as making new friends.

Services

Developmental Editing

I specialize in helping authors answer the big questions:

  • What is your book about?
  • Who is your audience?
  • Are you looking for commercial success or is this a family heirloom?

Ghostwriting

Do you have a great story to tell but no time? Maybe you started but can’t finish the marathon of writing a book. We can help you over the finish line. We can write it with you, in your voice.

Publishing Packages

Publishing through All Girl Publishing for writers who have worked with me on their manuscript. Packages and pricing depend on the scope of the project. Get in touch to talk about your book.

Marketing Guidance

Writing the book is only half the story. I will promote your book through my website and Substack audience, and guide you through the process of putting yourself out there via contests, appearances book clubs, etc.

I’ll help you think through how to reach your readers, so your book doesn’t just sit on a shelf.
