We help authors shape market-ready books & build careers that last.
Ghostwriting, Editing, Author Websites, Proposals, & Marketing for soulful authors, thought leaders, & spiritual teachers who want their work aligned and their words to endure.
Many writers are taught that if the work is good enough, it will find its audience and speak for itself — when in reality, meaningful books need clarity, intentional positioning, and thoughtful guidance to reach the readers they’re meant to serve.
We help authors shape, position, and steward their books with clarity, care, and strategy.
Trusted by debut writers and NYT bestselling authors
Proven experience. Meaningful outcomes.
Feeling pulled in too many directions? Wondering what your book or vision actually need to move forward?
We offer integrated publishing and career guidance for authors doing meaningful work.
Most authors are forced to assemble their careers by hiring editors, designers, marketers, and consultants who work in isolation — without a shared strategy guiding the work.
The Soulful Literary Studio brings everything an author needs under one clear, intentional roof.
Everything you need. One thoughtful team.
We do:
-
Ghostwriting, book doctoring, developmental, & line edits positioning your book for agents, publishers, or readers
-
High-level queries & proposals (fiction & nonfiction) that stand out in the market
-
Author platforms, websites, and social media designed to build visibility, credibility, and reader trust
-
Book and career launch strategies designed for long-term audience growth and genuine reader connection
-
Career guidance grounded in publishing and marketing expertise
For nonfiction, memoir, and fiction authors stewarding ideas they believe can change lives.
Work with a team who gets it — and helps you get there.
