Hi, I'm Jacob...

If you're an expert who's been meaning to write a book for years — you're exactly who I built this for.

I spent the first part of my career helping coaches and consultants with marketing. Funnels, ads, email lists, copy. It worked. Clients grew. But the pattern I kept seeing was that the experts who got the best clients, the shortest sales cycles, and the most inbound opportunities all had one thing in common. They had a book.

Not because a book made them famous. Because a book made them believed.

So I wrote one. Client Attractor came out in 2022 — and the process of writing it taught me more about what holds experts back from finishing a book than anything else I'd done. It wasn't discipline. It wasn't time. It was the absence of a clear system for turning a head full of expertise into a structure you can actually write from.

That's the problem I've spent the last several years solving — for myself first, then for hundreds of clients through the One-Hour Book Blueprint, the Book Architecture Launchpad, and the Manuscript Intensive.

If you have real expertise and a book you've been carrying around in your head, I can help you get it out — faster and more cleanly than you'd expect.

I hold a B.A. in English from Warren Wilson College and am finishing my MBA at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. I'm based in Asheville, NC.
