Work With Lisa and Anchor & Ink Publishing
You’ve been carrying a story or message inside you—one that you know is meant to be shared. But writing and publishing a book can feel overwhelming. Where do you even begin? How do you know if your manuscript is ready? And once it’s written, how do you get it out into the world in a way that looks professional and reaches readers?
That’s where I come in.
I have a passion to help writers like you move from idea to published author with clarity, confidence, and support. Whether you’re writing a memoir, devotional, nonfiction guide, a children’s book, or even exploring fiction, I provide the guidance and hands-on help you need to bring your book to life. I’ve helped over 20 authors get their books published so far!
Here’s how we can work together:
Writing Coaching & Support – I will help you to:
- Clarify your book idea and audience, and learn how to write to reduce editing costs.

Publishing Services—I will walk with you and provide:
- Help choosing the right publishing path for your goals.
- Step-by-step support with ISBNs, formatting, cover design, and distribution.
- Clear explanations (in plain English!) so you don’t feel lost in the process.
Manuscript Critique—I will give guidance for your next steps:
- Honest, professional feedback on your completed draft before investing in editing.
- I’ll review strengths and areas for improvement, including structure, clarity, flow, and reader engagement.

Ghostwriting—I will bring your story to life:
- Whether you’re a professional too busy to write or someone with a powerful story but no time to learn the writing process, I will capture your story, expertise, or message.
- I’ll transform your ideas, notes, and interviews into a polished manuscript written in your authentic voice.
- From concept to completion, I’ll create a compelling, well-structured book that reflects your message and connects with your audience.
Kind Words From Clients:
Lisa made my first journey as an author both enjoyable and inspiring.
“As a first-time author, working with Lisa Vest to complete my book was a truly wonderful experience. She was consistently prompt in responding to my questions and offered valuable guidance on important details in bringing an author’s vision to life.
Lisa’s extensive experience allowed her to explain points of concern gently and patiently, always keeping me open to feedback. At times, she highlighted passages in my writing and thoughtfully suggested how readers might interpret them, encouraging me to revise for greater clarity and appeal.
Also, I believe the cost for Lisa’s services are competitive for the publishing industry and well worth the money I spent. I highly recommend working with Lisa.“

After working with Lisa for more than a year, I have no doubt that she is one of the best book coaches in the business. She has guided me through the writing process, helped clarify my ideas, provided constructive feedback, helped improve my writing skills, and provided a clear, concise publishing strategy.
