Strategic Partnership for Authors, Publishers, and Creative Entrepreneurs

 

Conspire Creative helps authors and publishers build sustainable, profitable businesses through strategic coaching, consulting, project management, and comprehensive business support.

​

I work with publishers and authors at every stage—whether you're new or established, self-published or traditionally published, fiction or nonfiction, with one book or many. My clients span trade, children's, scholarly, professional, art, and educational books in print, digital, and audio formats.

 

What Makes Our Approach Different

​

I See Possibilities Others Miss

With 30+ years in publishing, I’ve developed what clients call “the ‘Why didn’t I think of that’ factor”—the ability to see beyond your immediate project to the business ecosystem you could build. I don’t just solve the problem you came with; I show you the revenue streams, strategic partnerships, and opportunities you’re missing.

​

Street Smarts Meets Book Smarts

I bring what clients have described as a rare combination: deep publishing expertise paired with serious business acumen. I understand both the creative vision and the commercial reality—and I help you navigate both without sacrificing either.

​

Partnership Architecture, Not Just Consulting

I don’t operate as a distant expert. I partner with you—as one client said, “You just got who I was and made it easy.” I see the connections others don’t, design the frameworks that work, and bring my extensive network of resources to activate your vision.

​

Practical Wisdom You Can Actually Use

Clients consistently mention the “direct and commonsense approach” I bring. You’ll get actionable strategies based on decades of real-world results—not theory, not abstractions, but what actually works in the marketplace.
