Not everybody is wired to stand up on stage and speak or entertain, and not everybody is wired to write a book. But we all have experiences and life lessons to share. Your published story might inspire someone to take a giant leap of faith. It might help another to heal. It could be that written legacy that so many of us wish our parents, our grandparents, and our great-grandparents (and beyond) had left behind for us to better understand them or remember them by. Our stories are more powerful than we can imagine, and every single one of them deserves to see the light of day.
I published my own story in 2015 after eight years of hiding it at the back of a cupboard, too terrified to share it with the world, afraid of what the world might think, that nobody would ever read it, that I would be persecuted for writing it. But none of that mattered. It was begging to be released from its prison of silence. So I set a goal, and I stuck to it. A year of Sundays, I said. And that's what I did. Every Sunday, without fail, I sat down at the keyboard and bled until it was done. And now my story out there. I have never looked back. It was one of the scariest but most liberating things I have ever done. But I did it.
Perhaps it's time for you to do the same, and perhaps I'm the person to help you do it.
If your story has already been written and simply requires the polish of an edit, I can do that too. Please click on the Editing tab in the menu above for more information on my editing services.
If you would like to work with me to independently publish your book, please click on the Independent Publishing tab in the menu above to find out more.
If you've got a book in you, I will find a way to get to you, work with you, create (or polish) your masterpiece, and get it out there. Please send me an email at phillipa@phillipamitchell.com detailing your requirements, and I will respond to you within forty-eight hours (or sooner if I am able to). As I am generally booked up for months in advance, please let me know if you have a deadline in mind so that I can ascertain in advance whether I will be able to accommodate you. Independent publishing takes up less of my time, so I am usually able to begin work on such projects at short notice.
If you would prefer to chat with me by telephone, please include your contact number when you email me, and we can arrange to set up a call. I am, however, always more responsive over email due to the fact that I am generally working on a client's masterpiece during every waking hour I have available.
You're also more than welcome to complete the form below. It will come straight to my email inbox as soon as you hit the submit button.
Let's write.
