Welcome to my DIY Book Training™ School! YOUR STORY MATTERS! I'm on a mission to help aspiring and seasoned authors create literary, marketable properties (read: BOOKS THAT SELL!).

I created these hybrid courses to give you the experience of working with a book coach without the price tag of 1:1 coaching (but I do that too, so if you're interested, check out my website!).

You don't have to be a great writer to become a great author, but unless you hire a ghostwriter, you're going to need to do the work to get there.

All books start with an idea. So all my students start in BOOK GOLD, where we develop your idea together.


*Please note: If you sign up for my school, you will be added to my Users list, but you will still need to enroll in specific courses to access my content.



Hi, I’m Mary.


I'm a certified ghostwriter, book coach on a mission to help authors create marketable, literary properties (read: BOOKS THAT SELL!).

Your story matters.

I created DIY Book Training™ to give you the experience of working with a book coach without the price tag.

All of my courses include at least one hybrid component (BOOK GOLD includes a 1:1 live coaching call with me, THE GOLDEN HOUR includes live sessions via Zoom) so you get the editorial support and encouragement you need. I'm serious—in this school, we'll work on your book together.
