Take the Stress Out of Writing and Publishing a Book
Step-by-step support, tailored to you, so your story can shine without the overwhelm.
Do you struggle with:
- Getting your book written – wondering if your idea is strong enough, how to structure it, and how to finally finish your manuscript.
- Knowing when your manuscript is ready – questioning whether your draft needs more work or if it’s time for professional editing and feedback.
- Figuring out the publishing process – From choosing an editor, cover designer, and formatter, to understanding ISBNs, distribution options, and how to actually get your book on Amazon, the details can feel overwhelming.
- Marketing and selling your book – Even after publishing, you may ask yourself: How do I reach readers, get reviews, and actually sell copies?

“This is the second project that I have worked on with Lisa Vest. In both cases, she was my editor and the publisher for my second book. I found her to be knowledgeable, professional, and very gracious in her communication. She brought invaluable assistance for every step in the process of publishing. I was very pleased with the outcome and would definitely recommend her services!”
~Lisa D. Putnam
“From the very beginning, Lisa Vest put me at ease about publishing. She was so well informed about the process and answered every question right away and completely. Her coaching and guidance improved the book immensely. This was my first book published on time and within budget. I learned many things that will help in future projects. No one else will ever edit or publish for me.”
