Book That Truly Matters

Over 30 years of experience in journalism, editing, and book coaching.

 Meet Nicole

In a world awash with disinformation, wilful lies, and AI slop, I believe that writing a nonfiction book is a form of resistance.

For more than three decades, I worked as an international journalist, editor, and nonfiction writer. I’ve lived in nine countries so far, including a long stint in Istanbul where I worked as foreign correspondent.

 

I’ve covered conflicts, refugee crises, political upheaval, economic and social issues, and natural disasters. I immersed myself in other cultures and witnessed amazing human resilience, particularly early in my career when I was a humanitarian worker in the Middle East. Over the years, I have also consulted for non-profit organizations, international institutions, and academic bodies as a writer, editor, and strategist.

Today, I help socially conscious academics, activists, field experts and memoirists share what they know in compelling researched books that readers need. Alongside my training as an Author Accelerator-certified nonfiction and memoir book coach, I bring tools and skills acquired in my long career in journalism. Under a calm exterior, I’m a passionate advocate for books, their authors and their audience.

Writing involves deep, critical thinking – it is a process that requires persistence. Writing a book fosters growth and transformation for both the author and the reader.

 The Impact Framework
 For Nonfiction Writers
Committed to Moving the Needle

Why work with me?

 

Building on Author Accelerator tools, I have developed the Impact Framework to help writers craft a powerful message that resonates with their intended audience.

  • Structure is my strength. I know that even the most brilliant books often start as a tangled mess of ideas in an author’s mind. I love helping writers pull on these threads, bring them together in a powerful concept, and deploy storytelling to convey their message to the reader.
     

  • Knowing your reader matters. ​I will help you identify your ideal reader and craft a message that resonates with your target audience. 
     

  • Storytelling drives impact. Humans respond to stories. Illustrating facts with interviews, anecdotes, and real life stories make the information you're sharing more memorable and powerful.

I had been working on and off on a manuscript for years and Nicole gave me the push, the organization, and—most importantly—the vision to finally finish. She is a gentle but firm coach, with a sharp editorial eye and deeply thoughtful insights. I can't recommend Nicole highly enough.

Does this sound like you?

You have a powerful story or big idea – but you’re not sure how to turn it into a book that truly matters and reaches the readers who need it.
 

You might be:

  • A scholar, journalist, or expert with an urgent message to share

  • A retired professional with decades of wisdom ready to be shaped into a manuscript

  • A socially conscious thought leader who wants to create impact

  • An aspiring author with too many ideas that you struggle to organize

  • A writer who wants encouragement, accountability, and a clear writing roadmap.
     

If you see yourself here, you’re in the right place.
