YOU HAVE A BOOK IN YOU

Turn Your Leadership Experience Into a Credibility-Defining Book.

For accomplished leaders who know their ideas matter—but don’t want to waste time, money, or reputation guessing their way through publishing.

Limited availability · Nonfiction only · No vanity publishing

This is NOT for everyone.

And that’s intentional.

This is for leaders who:

Have earned experience, not just aspirations

Want a book that opens doors, not just sits on Amazon

Care about quality, control, and long-term credibility

If you’re looking for a cheap way to “become an author,” this won’t be a fit


The Core Problem.

Most accomplished professionals reach a point where they realize:

“I should probably have a book—but I don’t know how to do it right.”

What stops them isn’t ideas. It’s uncertainty:

  • What kind of book actually works?

  • How personal vs. professional should it be?

  • How long will this really take?

  • Who do you trust when publishing advice is all over the map

The wrong path costs time, credibility, and momentum.

A Different Kind of Publishing Partner.

We don’t start with publishing.

We start with clarity.

We help experienced leaders:

  • Shape the right book for their goals

  • Decide what belongs in print—and what doesn’t

  • Maintain full creative and strategic control

  • Publish professionally without vanity traps or guesswork

For many clients—like Jim Ridgway, a former Navy leader—this becomes the book that defines the next chapter of their work.

What the Strategy Call Actually Is.

What Happens on the Book Strategy Call

This is a focused, 30-minute working session, not a pitch.

We’ll cover:

  • Whether a book actually makes sense right now

  • What kind of book would serve your goals best

  • Common mistakes people in your position make

  • What a realistic path forward would look like

You’ll leave with clarity—whether we work together or not.

We Only Take a Small Number of Authors Each Year.

Because this work is hands-on and strategic, availability is limited.

If you’re exploring a serious nonfiction book and want to do it right, start here.

Nonfiction · Selective · No obligation

  • "Working with Zolly House was the turning point for my book. They didn’t just help me publish—they helped me clarify my message, strengthen the story, and bring the book into the world with confidence. I felt supported at every step, and the final result exceeded what I thought was possible."

    —Jim Ridgway. Leadership author & former navy officer
