“When I started working on my first book, We Should All Be Millionaires, I wanted a writing partner to help me complete this ambitious project. Hiring Alex was an excellent decision. She came to me with story ideas, found research to strengthen my arguments, and polished my writing to make every page stronger.
Alex has incredible instincts for what readers need to hear, and how to craft a book that creates real change in people’s lives.
After the book came out, it sold 200,000 copies and transformed my business and life. Next came a three-book deal with Audible. I hired Alex to help me write all of those, too. If you need help getting a publishing deal, writing a powerful book, or both, work with Alex.”
—Rachel Rodgers, author, We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power

Praise
“When I got my publishing deal, I wanted a writing partner to help me write the book. Although I love to write, I wanted a ‘second brain’ to organize my ideas, polish rough drafts, and help me create a page-turner readers couldn’t put down. There was only one person I wanted to work with: Alexandra Franzen. My book hit #9 on the USA Today bestseller list and Alex played a big role in its success. She has exceptional writing and editing skills and will help you create a book that you are proud to put your name on. On top of that, she brings a calm, encouraging energy. When you’re feeling frazzled, she’ll help you remember why your book matters so much.”
—Jen Kem, author, Unicorn Team
“Alex, I cannot even express how grateful I am to be working with you. This book is my most significant contribution to the world—and you made it happen. You’re truly in a league of your own, and I feel like you’re an angel in my life. I seriously cannot thank you enough!”
—Selena Soo, author, Rich Relationships
“Special thanks to my writing coach Alexandra Franzen. From the first draft, to the final version, you brought such calm energy and helped me bring this project over the finish line. Writing a book while also running a women’s health clinic, managing a team, serving clients, and raising kids is not easy, but you kept me on track with my deadlines. I honestly don’t know how I could’ve done this without you!”
—Dr. Corina Dunlap, author, Hormone Powered
“I hired Alex to help create my first book. I had 20 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. I put ‘write a book’ on my vision board and now, with Alex’s help … my vision is a reality.”
—Dr. Nicolette Richer, author, Eat Real to Heal
“At a meeting at Random House—with Franzen to my right—I told my publishing power-team, ‘If anything, uh, happens to me, Alexandra can finish writing the book.’ I trust her that much. And I know her talent that well.”
—Danielle LaPorte, author, The Desire Map and The Fire Starter Sessions
“I just have to tell you… I was going through the book this morning. The edits you made were so bang on, so beautiful, so exactly right. You took the esoteric ideas from my brain and gave everything such clarity so that readers can grasp these concepts easily. I want to thank you for the highest quality work. I’m so thankful.”
—Spenser Brassard, author, Fertile Ground
“Your exceptional work has me doing cartwheels with excitement! You truly are extraordinary and consistently exceed my expectations. I am immensely grateful.”
—Karen Arrington, author, Your Next Level Life
