MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Susan Crossman

As a book coach, an editor, and the traditionally published author of five fiction and non-fiction books. More to the point, I am dedicated to harnessing the majesty of a great narrative to the objectives of clients who aim to make a difference in their world—typically these are transformational coaches, innovators, consultants, and writers. Leaders, like you, who yearn to make a difference in the world with their ideas about what is possible for people.

As a Canadian book editor with an international outlook my business is built around the privilege of helping people communicate more powerfully so they can build better relationships, achieve greater goals, and generate more revenue. Consciously and Vibrationally.

And my goal is to help solve the problem of how to develop a compelling book that changes minds, moves hearts, shifts paradigms, and inspires action.
