A Clear Path from Calling to Published Book

If you’re carrying a story you know matters—but haven’t been able to finish—this pathway was built for you.

A staged, high-integrity process for people who are ready to stop circling their story and steward it all the way to release.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • You may be here because:

    • You’ve carried this story for years.

    • You know it’s time—but you don’t want to rush or cheapen it.

    • You don’t want a formula, a gimmick, or vanity publishing.

    • You want structure, accountability, and a process that actually finishes.

    • You are ready to commit to doing this well.

    WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

    • Those planning on dabbling, outsourcing responsibility, or rushing toward an outcome.

    • Those who want hype, shortcuts, or someone else to carry the weight of the work.

      It is for people who are ready to take responsibility for the story they’ve been entrusted with—and see it through with integrity.

WHY THIS PATHWAY IS DIFFERENT

Most people don’t fail to finish a book because they lack discipline.

They fail because they skip steps.

They rush into writing without clarity.


They push toward publishing without structure.


They chase outcomes before they’re ready to carry them.

This pathway is built to prevent that.

It is staged, earned, and guided—so nothing important gets skipped.

THE STORY STEWARDSHIP PATHWAY

Stage 1: Calling

  • You don’t start by writing.

  • You start by naming the story you are actually meant to steward—why it matters now, and who it’s for.

  • This stage brings peace, clarity, and commitment.

Stage 2: Clarity

  • Before words hit the page, the structure is set.

  • We establish the message, the reader journey, and what belongs in this book (and what doesn’t).

  • By the end of this stage, you know exactly what you’re writing and how.

Stage 3: Creation

  • This is where the manuscript is written.

  • With guidance, accountability, and discernment, you move from intention to execution—without getting stuck or losing momentum.

  • You are not writing alone.

Stage 4: Refinement

  • Once the manuscript exists, it is protected.

  • This stage refines the work without stripping its voice and prepares it for release with confidence.

Stage 5: Release

  • Publishing is handled ethically and responsibly.

  • Ownership is protected.
    The book enters the world with clarity and purpose.

  • The work is complete—and ready to be stewarded beyond the page.

HOW THE INVESTMENT WORKS

  • The Story Stewardship Pathway is a single, five-stage program.

  • The full investment for the pathway is $10,000.

  • Rather than paying everything upfront, the investment is structured as $2,000 per stage.

    Here’s how that works:

    • You begin at Stage 1

    • Each stage is completed before moving to the next

    • You only move forward—and invest in the next stage—when you’re ready

    • There is no obligation to continue beyond any stage

    This structure ensures:

    • the work is never rushed

    • readiness determines progression

    • no one pays for steps they don’t take

      Advancement through the stages is earned, not automatic.

    Ready to Explore This Pathway?

    The next step is a clarity call to confirm:

    • whether this pathway is the right fit

    • which stage you’re currently in

    • and what timing makes sense

    There is no pressure and no obligation.

WHO I WORK WITH

People hire me when they’re ready to:

  • stop circling the same story

  • commit to a clear, structured process

  • finish a book with integrity

  • and release it responsibly

If you’re looking for shortcuts or someone to do the work for you, this won’t be the right fit.

If you’re ready to finish what you’ve been carrying, it likely is.
