Your VOICE is important and so is your message.

Now is the time to share. Now is the time to be seen.

Now is the time to be heard.

You have a voice and a message to share, and we want to help you make your mark.

If you want to develop, write, and publish a book, an online course, or a series of workshops, we can help you do that. Maybe you aren't ready for a book, but you want to start a blog or an intentional daily writing practice that will eventually lead to you becoming a published author. We can help you do that too.

I have a vision for a new way to publish.

Traditional publishing isn’t the only way. You can have an amazing publishing experience that is characterized by excellence, professionalism, skill, and compassion. And, you can have this experience in the self-publishing environment. You can maintain control and also receive the exquisite care and expertise you are looking for from some of the most talented individuals in the industry.

We can provide every part of the process from creative development, to editorial services, to design, and finally marketing of your book, website, or course. And unlike traditional publishing, you will also receive coaching along the way with concrete practical compassionate strategies you can use throughout the book writing process and beyond.



“Heather is not only an incredible editor, but a great coach and friend. When I got off track or stalled for one reason or another, she always pushed me through with a perfect blend of inspiration, encouragement, and reality. I learned so much from Heather. She has a true gift for helping people find their voice.”
— Brady Sadler, author of Collaboration Is King: How Game-Changers Create Marketing Partnerships That Build Brands and Grow Businesses

People engage in writing projects (books, courses, blogs) for many different reasons. Some people want to build credibility in their industry for their businesses. Others want to create passive income and think that a book is just the way to do it. Still others — and these are the individuals with whom I work — are so passionate about their message that they cannot put the idea down. They can’t move on because their message is part of their purpose.

In the last 25 years, I have helped people bring forth the books and other writing projects that have rested within their hearts.

First, as an executive development editor in traditional corporate publishing and then as a high-level book and writing coach in self-publishing, I have helped people to create just what they want to put out into the world, time after time. 

the Compassionate Mind Collaborative can help you to do the same.
