MAKE A TINY BOOK
You’ve got a book inside of you. Let’s take your book from “I’ve got this cool idea…” to “Oh my gosh, I’m holding the book in my hands!”
MAKE A TINY BOOK is a book production service. Together, we’ll create a short book on any topic that excites you. I’ve put together a wonderful team to get your book released in paperback, hardcover, or Kindle format. You don’t have to worry about printing or logistics. All you need to do is… write!
It starts with: A great idea for a book that you’d love to make. A workbook for your clients. A cookbook. A journal. A collection of essays. A book of love letters for your partner or kids. Whatever you want to create.
It ends with: You, holding the completed book in your hands, feeling proud, feeling thrilled, and bouncing with excitement!

A tiny book is a short book. Think: 20-60 pages. A quick read. A book that doesn’t take forever to write.
It could be:
– A workbook for your clients.
– A journal filled with inspiring questions.
– A collection of essays, stories, or poems.
– A book for your newsletter subscribers or customers.
– A book for your kids filled with advice, wisdom, and love letters.
– A book with a “best of” collection of your all-time favorite blog posts.
– A cookbook, a travel guide, a how-to guide, a book with a step-by-step process.
– Or… something else.
Why write a tiny book? Lots of reasons:
– Because it’s fun and exciting.
– Because your book might change someone’s life.
– Because you crave that feeling of… “Yes! It’s finished. I did this.”
– Because having a completed book can open all kinds of professional doors.
– Because it’s a quick, satisfying project — not intimidating, stressful, or overwhelming.
– Because maybe you’d like to write a full-length book one day — and get a publishing deal. You can use your tiny book as part of your “sample materials” in your book proposal. It’s a great first step towards getting a book deal.
– Because tiny projects can create a big ripple effect in the world.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with over 200 clients on all kinds of writing projects — creating tiny books, full-length books, podcasts, classes, programs, marketing campaigns, speeches, TEDx Talks, websites, and more.
Here are some statements from recent clients…
“I hired Alex to help create my first book. I had twenty years worth of notes, ideas, and recipes — but putting it all together felt overwhelming. Alex helped to shape everything into a book that’s educational and also inspiring, funny, and easy to read. Not only that, she helped me get a book deal! Last year, I put ‘write a book’ on my vision board and now, with Alex’s help… my vision is a reality.”
— Nicolette Richer, Owner & Founder, The Green Moustache organic juice bar & cafe
— Nicolette’s new book: Eat Real to Heal (Scheduled for release in 2018)
“I’ve wanted to write a book for a long time. But running two businesses–and running a household with a kid and two dogs — is a lot to juggle. Needless to say, it can be tough to make time to write.
I hired Alex to help me get past these obstacles. Her encouragement and editing helped me to go from ‘blank page’ to ‘finished book’. Every time I finished writing a new section, Alex was there — ready to read it and help polish it up. It felt awesome knowing that I wasn’t ‘all alone’ in this process — that I had a creative partner.
I can still barely believe it, but my book is DONE and it was released in February of this year. I DID IT! Pop the champagne!”
— Liz Dennery Sanders, Founder of SheBrand
— Liz’s new book: Style & Substance: How to Create a Compelling Brand
(Release date: February 12, 2018. A #1 Amazon New Release.)
“I’ve worked with Alex for six years. She has helped me to create so many things — including a podcast (135 episodes and counting!), countless blog posts and newsletters, and my newest book, BARE.
She’s more than just a ‘writer’ or ‘writing coach’ — she’s an artist who wants to unleash your inner artist, too. She is relentlessly uplifting. She’s the kind of person who sends text messages, out of the blue, just to say: ‘Keep marching. Don’t give up. I believe in you.’
If you’re fortunate enough to get on Alex’s calendar as a client, DO IT. Grab a spot. And you’d better hurry because otherwise, I will book all of her available time from now until forever.”
— Susan Hyatt, Master certified life coach, motivational speaker
— Susan’s new book: BARE: a 7-step process to transforming your body & upgrading your whole life (Scheduled for release in 2019)
“I came to Alex with a slightly crazy idea: I wanted to create a collection of 12 workbooks for my clients in less than 1 year. Her response: ‘No problem.’ Together, we made it happen. The collection is called the Unlocked Academy — and the books turned out beautifully!
Alex is a gifted writer and collaborator, and a deep listener. But most of all, I love her big heart. She cares deeply about her clients. Every time we talk or exchange emails, I can feel the love. She gives me a ‘boost’ that I can feel all week long.”
