17 Years
Hundreds of clients
Thousands of stories brought to life
17 years ago, I started Striking Content, a writing and marketing business that helps clients market themselves and their companies. About 12 years ago, that business expanded into ghostwriting and since then, I’ve helped many clients just like you bring their incredible stories to life.
For years, I took people from idea to finished book, and through this, I created and perfected a system that embodies:
- Planning, organization and structure
- Information gathering
- Interviews and deep talk
- Writing and editing
But above all this, what naturally developed were the parts of my system that matter the most…the hard-to-swallow, difficult parts that no one wants to admit:
- Opening up and getting vulnerable
- Battling through fear, self-doubt and imposter syndrome
- Hitting roadblocks and smashing through them
- Feeling stuck and getting unstuck, over and over again
- Digging so deep that you uncover things you never expected
And it’s these parts of my coaching services that empower you to create your best book.
How I got here
After years of helping others bring their stories to life, I felt compelled to do the same for myself. Since 2021, I’ve written, illustrated and self-published six books of my own: two young adult books about bullying and mental health, three children’s books and one adult pet loss grief journal (with two more books currently in the works for 2026).
This has led me to be featured on major media outlets, give talks in schools and other settings, meet amazing people and spread my message in all kinds of ways.
The journey of becoming an author and learning how to let it all out on the page, push and grind through the hesitation, figure out the impossible and make my dreams come true has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.
And I want it for you, too.
It’s funny how things work out
Six months ago, I was in a bad place. It was a slow burn for about a year and a half, but at the beginning of 2025 my once successful, six-figure writing business, Striking Content, had gone almost to $0.
Why? Artificial intelligence.
It destroyed my business.
All the smaller-scale projects that made up a big part of my workload evaporated – the websites, the blog posts, the articles, the print marketing materials, the press releases…
But do you know what prevailed? Books. Ghostwriting books for my clients.
Sensing the need to pivot somehow, there have been many months of intense thinking, rigorous research, learning, personal development and soul searching. Amidst all of this, I kept writing my books, working on the few ghostwriting projects I had with clients and, believe it or not, using AI more and more in my work. I never used it to write or create from scratch – are you kidding me? Why would I let a robot take away the best part? But what I did use it for was ideation, planning, organization, outlining, filling in gaps, getting unstuck faster, polishing and double-checking.
And then it hit me. I knew what was next for me.
Instead of just writing books for people (which I still do and LOVE to do, by the way), I want to show them how to do it themselves with a simple, proven, empowering and repeatable system!
Why? Because I’ve discovered that what I’m most passionate about is helping people bring their stories to life. I think everyone should write a book – and I know how to help them do it effectively, efficiently and professionally.
I believe we all need to embrace AI in some way, shape or form, or else we risk getting lost in the dust. And so, I trained my own custom GPT to think, create and write like me! Today, I use it to level-up my work at Striking Content and in my books, and now I’m sharing it with my coaching clients because it’s the part of my program that will:
- Make you more efficient
- Abolish your writer’s block
- Get you unstuck
- Help you plan and organize your thoughts
- Tide you over until our next coaching session!
Isn’t it funny how things happen sometimes? I went from a devastated, anti-AI writer to a book writing and publishing coach who embraces AI in a unique, ethical and effective way.
A deeper dive into my book coaching
- Personalized strategy call
- Pinpoint of where you are in the process
- Outline of exactly what you need to finish
- Invitation to access to my different courses, programs and products
- Customized plan of action
- Walking you through my step-by-step process to systematically extract what’s already inside of you
- Structuring your ideas into a beautiful, organized and meaningful outline
- Gradually producing content that becomes your coherent, authority-building manuscript
- Moving through emotional resistance without losing momentum
- Facing fears, self-doubts and imposter syndrome like a pro
- Blasting through writer’s block with tips, tricks and tools (including a custom-trained AI-writing partner)
- Effectively and efficiently handling that sensation of “feeling stuck”
- Finishing with your integrity, voice and confidence intact
This isn’t motivation. It’s a method.
This isn’t a course. It’s a rite of passage.
This isn’t “writing help.” It’s the process you need to become who you’re stepping into next.

Katie is brilliant. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Katie for almost a decade now, on a wide range of writing projects for multiple business ventures. From then to now, no matter the need or the timeframe, I know I can always rely on Katie to get the job done. She took the time upfront to learn about me, my business and the kind of writing I wanted. Now, we work together seamlessly and I know I can call on her for absolutely any writing need and we’ll arrive at a finished product I’m extremely happy with. Her precision with words and her ability to bring my disjointed thoughts to life is profound. She’s truly gifted and I am lucky to have her as part of my journey wherever it takes me.

Katie literally made my dream of writing a book become a reality. I simply told her my story and she turned it into a book that has opened doors for me that I never imagined. The book is receiving amazing reviews from mental health professionals. I am receiving emails on a daily basis about the impact this book has made in the lives of those who have read it. Some have learned about a loved ones illness, some have told me they felt completely alone until reading the book and professionals have shook my hand and thanked me. None of this would have been possible without the talent of Katie behind the keyboard. Talented is an understatement when it comes to describing Katie. She has a God given talent and she puts it to work everyday!

Let’s debunk those limiting thoughts
I know your mind is racing with all kinds of thoughts that are making you stop, think and analyze this opportunity to death.
These are the same thoughts my clients come face to face with, and that ran through my own mind for years before I wrote my first book.
Here’s the thing. AuthoRise is built on 17+ years of experience bringing books and powerful stories to life. I’ve lived and breathed this for a long time and this program is designed for one thing: to make you finish and succeed.
Let’s debunk those limiting thoughts once and for all.
“I’ve never written a book – can I actually do this?”
You can and you will. I’ve been exactly where you are and I’ve got the system to take you from this very thought right through to your finished product.
“What if I need extra support and hand-holding?”
I am available for additional 1:1 sessions whenever you feel the need.
“I don’t feel ready.”
No one does. It’s about jumping in and taking a leap of faith before you feel ready. This is where published authors come from.
“What if my story isn’t special enough?”
Every story is special – but the real key is how that story is told. I teach you how to tell your story using specific formulas and easy to follow systems that ensure the finished product is something your readers can’t put down.
“What if I start… and don’t finish again?”
AuthoRise is built for this. Step by step, we work through the tough moments and the triumphs all the way until the end.
“What if I rely on AI and regret it later?”
AuthoRise shows you exactly how to use AI ethically and effectively so that it becomes a powerful TOOL – not a replacement for you, the writer. No reliance and no regrets.
“What if I still don’t feel like an author after?”
There is absolutely no chance of that happening. Once you experience the moment of holding your first book in your hands, you’ll feel it. You’ll know it. You’ll embrace it.
This is your invitation
I know it’s overwhelming. I know it’s scary. I know you feel like a total imposter right now.
I know because I’ve been there.
And that’s why I also know that you’ll say yes when, and only when…
The pain of not writing your book outweighs the discomfort of starting.
This is your chance to finally bring your book to life with support, accountability and guidance every step of the way. I can’t wait to celebrate your finished manuscript with you.
