ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES,

AND LIGHT ALL THOSE

BULLSHIT EXCUSES ON FIRE.

You don't need more courses.
You need a plan that actually works.

You've written the book.

Maybe two. Maybe ten.

And you're still stuck. Not because you can't write. You can.
That was never the problem.

The problem is that nobody taught you the other part. The business part.

The part where you figure out why your marketing never lands, why your launches fizzle, why you're doing all the things and nothing's working.

The author industry loves to tell you to "just write more" and "just be consistent" and "just post every day."

As if volume is a business model. As if showing up is a strategy.

It's not.

It's hobbyist advice dressed up as professional guidance.

And it's keeping you stuck. You don't need more tactics.

You need someone who sees the whole picture, story and business, and can show you where the gaps actually are.

That's what I do.

Book Foundation

Your book is your product. If it's not positioned to sell, if the cover and blurb aren't speaking to the right reader, if your concept doesn't align with what the market actually wants, no amount of marketing will save you. This is where most authors are bleeding and don't even know it.

Publishing Strategy

Publishing isn't an event. It's a business model. KU or wide? Rapid release or slow burn? Series or standalones? These aren't checkboxes. They're strategic decisions that should be based on YOUR goals, not what some podcast told you works for everyone.

Business Infrastructure

This is where overwhelm lives. Email systems. Tech stacks. Marketing rhythms that don't make you want to throw your laptop into the sea. If you're doing everything manually and burning out, this is why.

Here's what nobody tells you:

Every author business needs three systems. Not thirty. Three.

Get these three right, everything else gets easier.

Most people separate story and business.
I don't.

Where's it breaking down?

You're doing the work. You're showing up. And something still isn't clicking.

This audit will show you exactly where your gaps are. Nine questions. Three minutes. No fluff.

I’m Jocelyn

You? You're done spinning.

Done collecting advice that contradicts itself. Done wondering why nothing's clicking even though you're doing all the things.

You're ready to build something real. A book that actually sells. A business that doesn't make you want to throw your laptop into the sea.

Good. That's exactly who I'm here for.

25 years building businesses. 10 years coaching authors. 40 years writing. I've built companies in tech, floral design, coaching, and publishing.

Different industries, same truth: you need a solid product, a clear strategy, and systems that actually work.

I've also spent my life obsessed with story. I've been told I have a sixth sense for it. I see what's working, what's broken, and what's missing, often before the author can.

Most people separate story from business. I don't.

Your book IS your product. Your publishing decisions ARE your business model. Get those out of alignment and nothing else works.

I'm not a cheerleader. I won't blow smoke.

But I'll tell you the truth, and I'll be right there with you while you do the hard work.

Every author I work with gets my full attention.
Your book, your goals, your business, your life.

I'm not going to hand you a template and tell you to figure it out. We build the strategy around YOU, not the other way around.

I was terrified of writing a crappy book. Jocelyn supported me through every step. I can't count how many times her insights got me un-stuck.
