The Risk-Free Publishing Promise
With enrollment, I guarantee you be publishing ready in just three months.
What does that mean?
If you show up to all your sessions, complete the agreed steps/assignments, and still don't have a clear publishing path, I'll continue supporting you until I do- totally free. Helping put together your book dummy, uploading to Amazon, etc. All included!
You assume zero risk in taking action now. A guarantee of getting your ideas & characters out into the world!
Why This is For You:
I've been exactly where you are.
I was rejected from art school multiple times before I figured out the system to master a professional style, land my dream job at Disney, and publish award-winning books.
This mentorship isn't just theory; it’s the exact, repeatable process I used to build my career.
I'll be your guide, helping you avoid years of mistakes and giving you the clear path you've been missing.
Who It's For:
The passionate artist who's always dreamed of getting their work out there, but not sure where to start!
You've got characters ready, ideas, maybe even a full rough draft: but the world of publishing seems so business-y. And you're the creative type, ya' know?
Or maybe you're just nervous about taking that leap of faith.
Whichever it is, I've been there, and am more than prepared to help you push through!
It’s perfect for artists just getting started or those looking to pivot their careers. You're ready to stop dreaming and finally become a published author-illustrator.

Any of these sound familiar?
"But I don't have the time..."
That's exactly why you need this. Instead of wasting hours doom-scrolling Pinterest feeling burnt out, this mentorship gives you a focused, step-by-step plan. We'll make every minute you dedicate to your art count.
"But is it worth the investment?"
Think of the years of trial-and-error and costly mistakes you'll avoid. I'm giving you the exact roadmap that took me over a decade to build. This isn't an expense; it's an investment in your dream career, with a total package valued at over $3,000.
"But what if I'm not good enough?"
I couldn't even get into art school. I know what it feels like to doubt your potential. This program is designed to break through that "style block" and build unshakeable confidence. My story is proof that your past doesn't define your future.
"But my art style isn't ready yet."
Perfect. This mentorship is designed for artists still finding their voice. We'll work together to discover, create, and refine a style that feels authentically you, turning uncertainty into a portfolio that opens doors.
FAQs
What if I'm a complete beginner?
This mentorship is perfect for artists just getting started. We'll build your skills and confidence from the ground up.
What if I already have a manuscript or a portfolio?
Excellent! We'll start exactly where you are, refining your existing work and filling in any gaps to make it professional and submission-ready
Do you guarantee I'll get an agent or publishing deal?
I guarantee that after 3 months, you will have a clear, actionable path to publishing your dream. If you don't feel ready to submit your work by the end of our time, we aren't done. We'll work together until your project is something you're proud to share with the world.
How much time should I expect to commit?
This is a 1:1 mentorship tailored to you. We'll set realistic monthly assignments that fit your schedule, even if you're juggling kids and a heavy workload. The key is consistent, focused effort, not endless hours.
What happens after the 3 months?
You'll have a finished book dummy or portfolio, a list of agents to submit to, and a completed Amazon KDP or Ingram Spark setup if you self-publish. Plus, you’ll retain access to my creative community on Discord to continue your journey.
Ready to finally hold your published book in your hands?
There are only a limited number of mentorship spots available each quarter to ensure every artist gets my full attention. Claim your spot before they're gone!
