Calling all writers and entrepreneurs: let’s write that book in a way that feels effortless, joyful, and deeply fulfilling.
The Fall 2025 waitlist is now OPEN for Lindsay’s 8-week signature book coaching pod: From Pipedream to Published Author
Kicking off September 2025. The pod is capped at 8 people.
Hi, I’m Lindsay! I’m delighted to be leading another round of my most popular offering — my 8-week small group coaching pod to help you write and publish your book with confidence, clarity, and community.
This is exactly the program that I wish I’d had when I was struggling to break in as an author. I’ve now published three books with Big 5 publishers (with a fourth on the way!), given four TEDx talks and 100+ keynotes, and built a business as a writer, speaker, and coach.
Part art, part business, and part sacred circle, this high-touch group program is a soulful yet deeply practical space where I help you learn from both my successes and my mistakes and guide you through every step of the writing and publishing process.
Whether you are just brainstorming an idea or already have a finished proposal or manuscript, I meet you where you are for personalized 1:1 coaching each week in addition to the group sessions.
Consider this your sacred nudge to stop deferring that dream of yours to be a published author. The world needs your book. And the process of writing it will change you in more ways than you can imagine.
Hope to see you in the fall pod!
xx

About me…
3x author with Penguin Random House and HarperCollins
Featured in People Magazine, Writer’s Digest, CNBC, and more. Publisher’s Weekly and Barnes & Noble Top 50 bestseller.
4x TEDx speaker and has given keynotes at Nasdaq, Goldman Sachs, Notre Dame, University of Michigan, and more.
Graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth, where I studied Creative Writing and economics
I was formerly a VP at Goldman Sachs and bring business savvy into the writing/publishing process…something that so many writing workshops fail to equip authors with, as I found out the hard way
Before signing my first book deal, I wrote 5 books that never got published — and racked up 200+ rejection letters! — so I know a thing or two about what it takes to actually break in
I landed my first agent from a query letter (a cold email) and my current agent at Janklow & Nesbit from networking and proving my success in my first two book launches
My fourth novel is coming out in 2026 from HarperCollins, and I’m self-publishing my debut poetry book for full creative freedom in 2025, so I know both the traditional publishing and self-publishing world inside and out and guide my clients to finding the most aligned fit for them
I’m represented by a top TV/film agency in Hollywood, and my novel SUMMER ON LILAC ISLAND is in the process of being adapted into a TV show
I’ve been leading these writing workshops for 2+ years as a way to create the type of support I wish I’d had during those years when I was struggling to break in
I’ve been a digital nomad for the past 3 years and am now in Texas for a new chapter!
What’s included in the 8-week pod:
Weekly group coaching calls with your pod, led by me (90-min on Zoom). Each session has both a writing workshop component and a business lesson to demystify the process, equip you with practical skills, help you hone your writing craft, and empower you to write and publish your dream book. Max 8 people per pod.
Personalized editorial feedback and coaching each week: You can submit up to 1k words per week for my review. That can be a chapter draft, a section of a book proposal, a query letter, a TEDx talk pitch, or anything you’d like. I provide detailed feedback and help you shape your strongest work. This is the high-touch space where the big breakthroughs happen!
An accountability buddy to stay on track over the eight weeks. During the first session, I will assign everyone an accountability buddy. I try to ensure this person is working on a similar genre to yours for maximum impact.
By the end of the eight weeks, you will have:
Clarity on which of your book ideas is “the one”
A refined concept and “hook” for your book
A deep understanding of the traditional publishing and self-publishing process and which is right for you
50 pages of your manuscript or book proposal, written and polished
A polished query letter and Top 10 Agent list to guide your pitching
Practical tools to help you tap into your flow state and keep momentum with your book
A personalized “publishing roadmap” for where to go from here
A community of other writers on the journey with you

Testimonials from Program Graduates

Within less than a year of taking Lindsay's workshop, I went from only having an idea to signing with a top agency and publisher. Lindsay's workshop was the best value and best investment I could have made. I will always have her to thank for helping me reach my lifelong dream of being a published author!
Anna, LA

Lindsay's coaching was incredibly helpful, inspiring, and fun! I looked forward to each session, and it really helped me get clarity on what I need to do next as I work on my book. Lindsay is really passionate about helping, and her feedback was always so thoughtful, actionable, and encouraging. I also really benefited from learning more about publishing--although I've done independent research, it was invaluable to be able to ask all my specific, nuanced questions to someone who understood my personal goals and who's been through the whole process before.

“In Lindsay’s program, I went from having only a few random ideas for books to a refined concept, the first few chapters, SO MUCH MOMENTUM, and a super clear understanding of how I’m going to publish it. Feeling supported by the other writers in the group was amazing too as they were all wonderful, kind people and helped me feel confident sharing my work.”

The backstory…
Before I landed my first book deal and built my career as an author and speaker, I sometimes wondered if I should just give up.
The rejection letters piled up. Literary agents and publishers either ghosted me or politely passed on my work, leaving me feeling invisible and stuck.
Why am I putting myself through this? I questioned. Will it ever happen?
Plan B was always there. I was climbing the Wall Street ladder as a Vice President at Goldman Sachs, with the promise of a well-paying, stable career.
But deep down, I knew I wasn’t born to be comfortable. I was born to be alive.
Alive, feeling the full range of human emotions. Alive, sharing the creative energy frothing inside me. Alive, writing stories that could touch people, inspire them, and remind them of their own untapped potential.
The problem was that the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be felt impossibly large.
There were breakdowns, tears, and endless “What if it never happens?” phone calls to my mom.
But no matter how hard it got, I couldn’t quit. Writing wasn’t just something I wanted to do—it was something I had to do.
After years of persistence (and five beloved manuscripts that never saw the light of day), I finally landed my first book deal.
That moment was a catalyst, giving me the platform to build my dream career as an author, speaker, and creative entrepreneur. And now, I help others bring their books to life too.
And the best part? We’re no longer dependent on gatekeepers in the publishing world to decide if our stories are worth publishing.
We can take the power back into our own hands, leveraging the new generation of professional, high-quality self-publishing. This approach gives us full creative control and the ability to bring our books to life on our own terms.
I guide clients through that process because you don’t need permission to publish your book.
You just need the right strategy, guidance, and mindset. Writing and publishing your book isn’t just about the final product—it’s a transformative journey that will change your life and the lives of your readers.
Whether you’re a writer dreaming of publishing your first book or an entrepreneur eager to share your expertise with the world, I know how overwhelming it can feel.
But I also know it’s possible. Progress isn’t linear or overnight, but with the right support and a refusal to abandon your wildest dreams, you will get there.
I’m here to help you take that first step—and every step after—so you can create something meaningful and step into the career and life you’ve been envisioning.
