MEET THE Expert
Hello!
I'm Krista and I love the written word. Books have always been my favorite thing. I find purpose in their existence every day.
After years of curating a highly unique combination of eduction, personal experiences, and professional expertise, I've translated my love of books into the art of producing them, and developed a strategy for helping authors prepare their books for self-publishing in a way nobody else on earth can. Over the last decade, I've helped hundreds of authors produce and successfully self-publish bestselling books around the world.
I currently live near Houston, Texas with my four young children. I am a millennial eldest daughter and, aside from all things books, my passions include: motherhood, house plants and gardening, cooking, home design and organization, homemaking, and social media content creation.
When you are ready to take the plunge into the world of being a self-published author, I am ready to assist you with anything and everything you need to be successful! I am just a form, phone call, text, or email away.
Can't wait to hear from you!
Talk soon,
Krista

Krista and I worked together for a year. She was my editor, designer and publishing consultant, and she was responsible for bringing my book to life. Her commitment, vision, and skills were impressive and I'll always be grateful for the role she played in the production process. Once published, my book was named "Adult Nonfiction Book of the Year" by the San Francisco Writer's Conference and became a bestseller on Amazon.

Thank you so much, Krista, for helping me get my book in such good shape. I really appreciate that you were able to do it so quickly and offered great suggestions.
