Hello. I'd like to thank you personally for visiting The Publishing Institute Website and to show you a bit more about myself. Whether you are looking for guidance as you begin your book, or are a seasoned writer looking for ideas on how to market your book or articles, my diverse background provides a solid foundation for helping you find focus and fulfillment.

I call myself the "Book Coach" because like a sports coach, I can take you from novice to pro in the book-writing process. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the many tasks involved in writing and publishing a book. Coaching helps break things down into manageable chunks, and also sets up a process of accountability. Together, we'll achieve your dream of becoming a published author.

Since 1984, I have helped hundreds of people gain clarity about their writing. As a technical translator from German into English, an international English instructor, and production manager for a publishing house, my path has been one of multicultural communication and writing. Much of my work has centered around a technique called mind-mapping, which I have used to enhance my own creativity, write books and articles, and build my businesses. Today, I teach workshops for writers and authors, and work with individuals based on this technique and the experience gained over the years.
