Author Visibility - book signings, podcasts, speaking, brand presence

The book is written. Or it's almost written. Or it's been out for a while and you know it could be reaching more people than it is.

The gap between a book that exists and a book that's actually in the world is visibility. And visibility, for most authors, is the hardest part. Not because the opportunities aren't there — but because stepping into them requires something the writing process doesn't: showing up as yourself, in real time, in front of people who haven't read a word yet.

Book signings. Podcast interviews. Speaking from a stage. A brand presence that actually reflects who you are, your message, and what your work is about.

The posts in this collection are about all of it — the practical and the personal. Because getting visible as an author is a question if you're willing to let the work — and the person behind it — be fully seen.

You Know It's a Verb, Right?

Leadership isn't something you earn once and then have. It's something you practice — every day, in every interaction, at every level of the work.

This book (which I had the joy of co-authoring) is for anyone who senses there's more to leadership than their title reflects — whether you're early in your journey, already leading a team, or running a business and realizing that leading yourself and your clients is its own kind of leadership. Using everyday language and real-life examples, it's a roadmap for the practice of becoming the leader you're already capable of being.

Because leadership doesn't happen because you sat in a classroom or earned a credential. It happens because you prepare for it.

Author Stylist Guide: Own Your Greatness, Get Visible, and Share Your Message

You published the book. Now the opportunity arrives — a book signing, a podcast invitation, a speaking engagement — and suddenly it's not about the writing anymore. It's about you, showing up, in real time, as the person behind the work.

The Author Stylist Guide is for that moment. Not how to get more opportunities — how to make the most of the ones that come to you, so you show up with confidence, shine in the room, and let your book and message reach the people who actually need them.

You already have the courage and the gifts that got you here. This book helps you use them.
