Hi! 👋🏼

I’m award-winning author, ghostwriter, recovering academic, and professional overthinker, Emily Crookston.

I’ve written or edited 30+ business books and most of my clients are self-published. I also self-published my own book, *Unwritten: The Thought Leader’s Guide to Not Overthinking Your Business Book* in 2024.

Let’s face it: a lot of business books suck! They are boring, repetitive, and over-stuffed with information. That’s not just MY opinion. Pull up an Amazon review for almost any business book and you’ll see others saying as much. My job is to help my clients write better business books.

And NOW I want to do the same for DIY authors. My free weekly newsletter Write & Rise is the best place to get my behind-the-scenes, super-secret ideas about how to write a better business book. If you’re a first-time author, you don’t want to miss it!

Join readers of Write & Rise, the newsletter that speaks the truth about self-publishing (even when it hurts).

Write & Rise is a free weekly newsletter for high-achieving experts and business owners who are ready to write a book that sells.

These candid but weirdly encouraging 🤷🏻‍♀️ emails will give you a behind the scenes look at…

• The biggest mistakes first-time authorpreneurs make and how to avoid them
• Ways the “thought leadership” space is shifting and how to build a genuine presence as a Big Idea expert
• What writing, publishing, and promoting a business book-that actually sells-looks like
• How to avoid writing another forgettable business book and write a book you can’t wait to promote
