Hi, we’re C.J. and Mary!

We’re bestselling authors, businesswomen, and next-level strategists who believe in the unparalleled power of story to build not just books — but meaningful bodies of work, lasting careers, and lives shaped by purpose.

Over the years, we’ve worked with Hollywood actors and producers, spiritual creatives and inspired souls, and business owners and multi-million-dollar entrepreneurs — people carrying ideas they care deeply about. Our role has always been the same: to help clarify the heart of the message and shape it into work that is honest, beautiful, and enduring.

The truth is, many writers are taught that success comes from finishing a book—without ensuring the work is distinctive, positioned with intention, or aligned with the readers it’s meant to serve.

We believe the work deserves more care than that.

Because writing a book—especially one rooted in beauty, wisdom, or lived experience—is not just a creative act. It’s an offering. And like any meaningful offering, it benefits from discernment, shaping, and thoughtful guidance.

That’s where we come in.

At The Soulful Literary Studio, we support writers from the soul up. We help clarify what the work is truly about, who it’s meant for, and how it can move through the world with integrity and impact. Our work spans ghostwriting, editing, query writing, proposal creation, career and story strategy, marketing guidance, and website building—always grounded in clarity, intention, and long-term thinking.

We bring both reverence and rigor to the process. We care deeply about the heart of the work, and we apply the professional strategy needed to help it be seen, understood, and trusted.

Because meaningful writing doesn’t just deserve to exist—it deserves to land.

If you are a writer doing work that matters, and you want support that honors both the soul of your ideas and the readers waiting for them, you’re in the right place.
