Publishing & Book Consulting

Before Enrooted Life, my work lived in the world of books: shepherding ideas from manuscript to published reality. Today, that experience lives on as a consulting offering under the Enrooted Life umbrella—grounded, ethical, and deeply respectful of the creative process.

This service is for authors who feel called to share their work, but don’t want to navigate the publishing landscape alone or lose themselves in a rushed, extractive process. Together, we move slowly enough to do it well—and efficiently enough to get your book into readers’ hands.

How This Work Feels

This is not hustle-driven publishing.

It’s steady, thoughtful, and human.

Supporting authors with clarity, ownership, and integrity.

  • You retain full copyright and royalties

  • No revenue-sharing or hidden fees

  • No sales guarantees—only transparent, ethical support

  • Clear scope, clear timelines, clear communication
