CEO & Founder

I hit my first creative crossroads in 2015. I flailed, crawling my way through the creative process until I eventually published my first book. I had no community, no next-steps planned, no clue.

Activated Authors is all about empowering authors. I know the value of community, having built a pretty solid career working with others and coaching authors across all levels. I have been part of collaborations, networks, and masterminds that have all helped me level up my writing career. And now I want to give this gift to other authors.

In a world that is so digitally connected, it’s amazing how alone we can feel in Facebook groups filled with thousands of authors. My goal is to help you find a close-knit, like-minded community of authors, and generate real-world connections to create the stepping stones that will lead you on your author career.

Activated Authors is a home for creatives. It’s a home for authors, writers, artists, and anyone looking to become a professional with their work. Most of all, it’s about ensuring that you don’t have to make the same mistakes that I did. You don’t have to stumble and crawl through your creative life.

You can choose, instead, to thrive.
