A hand to hold from beginning to end of your book creation journey
Your words are the soothing balm to a soul in need.
You’re crafting a piece of soulful nonfiction.
What is that exactly?
“Soulful nonfiction” is a term coined by our founder, Danielle, to highlight books written from a deep place of healing, transformation, and wisdom. These are books that turn silver linings into actionable gold for the collective good.
Writers of soulful nonfiction are here to leave the world a better place than how they found it.
The book you’re crafting (whether it’s on paper already or still swirling in your mind) is full of life. We know. Its essence is raw human experience. It’s rooted in the storms you’ve weathered and the beauty you’ve witnessed. This book that’s calling to you has a frequency unlike any other on the shelf, and you know it must be written by YOU.
But how do you reach the point where you can actually hold this sleek-covered soul-work in your hands?
The right support could mean the difference between your words collecting virtual dust in an abandoned document or sitting front and center on a grateful reader’s shelf.
Whether you haven’t yet started, you’re still writing, or you have a mountain of pages drafted, you’ve probably ruminated on thoughts like:
No writer is immune to second guessing! And while support is paramount at ALL stages of this adventure, it’s extra helpful when you find yourself tangled in “what ifs.”
Do you know how IWB meets writers RIGHT where they’re at?
We move in community through the five phases of book creation outlined in our signature course, Author’s Alchemy, so that your gifts can burn bright and your hang-ups can be lovingly tended to. Here, nothing will interfere with you writing a well-structured, moving, powerful book, culled straight from the substance of your heart.
You belong here if:
You’ve just started to write or have become stuck along the way and want both coaching and community support to guide you.
We settle into a warm and supportive setting where the roadmap can be clearly defined. We’ll gladly burn away the one-size-fits-all approach that suffocates many writers and, instead, gently align with your individual energetic blueprint, your soul essence, and create a uniquely-you pathway to the finish line.
You belong here if:
You’re seeking a space to work through your ideas with more personal support, direct feedback, and accountability in reaching your writing goals.
We invite you into the tried-and-true stages of polishing and publishing your book, helping align you with the exact services you need in the exact way you need them. Your work will be supported by a team of experts who can look through your words with a critical (yet caring) eye and offer opportunities for enhancement.
You belong here if:
You’ve completed your first draft and are ready to take a fine-tooth comb to your work, tighten up your words, and walk the road to publication.
You’ll be grounded by the guidance of planetary archetypes and discover your ideal writing flow with astrological and Human Design-inspired insights in a monthly subscription box designed to reignite your soul’s passion for writing. Here, we tend to your energy and ritualize the way you create so you can keep creating from a place of inspirational overflow rather than burnout.
You belong here if:
You’re starting to lose interest or motivation to write and are ready for a new source of supportive, sustainable inspiration.
Danielle is such a delight and a gift! She does impeccable work. She was simply brilliant; it was my first book, very big and complicated, and Danielle understood the scope of it, always asked the right questions, made great suggestions, cleaned up mistakes methodically, and always came under schedule despite time pressure. I can’t recommend Danielle enough. If you have a book in your heart, hire Danielle for an amazing adventure together.
I am very grateful to Ink Worthy Books who helped me with all the work to publish my book, from editing and proofreading to cover and book design. I’m so happy with the quality and professionalism of Danielle and her team!

Meet your torch-bearer for the journey ahead
You’ll come to know me as your mirror, lovingly reflecting back all the magic, wisdom, and ability that is already inside you, bringing to the surface that profound essence of yours that’s going to make your book truly transformational for the world.
My many years of editing and writing work are combined with meticulous book coach training and a fascination for the substance that is creative energy. With the lens of Human Design and astrology, I’ve built containers where the message in your soul can be alchemized into tangible, polished-page gold for the collective.
Ink Worthy Books is founded on the idea that self-publishing authors should be able to truly partner with someone who cares about their entire journey rather than wade through transactional, one-off experiences to “get the job done.”
A little more about me?
I coined the term “soulful nonfiction” to make space for stories and messages channeled from the heart. For the soul-driven teachings that encourage evolution. For the books that simply *must* be written to move the world forward.
I’m passionate about merging stable structure with intuitive flow, but I don’t subscribe to quick-fixes, shortcuts, and anything remotely cookie-cutter. I see each soul as a unique light with a one-of-a-kind gift to offer the world, and I’m sure as heck not going to let the “shoulds” and “have-tos” extinguish your spark.
In Human Design terms, I’m a 2/4 Manifesting Generator whose greatest gift is pursuing what lights me up with boundless energy and redistributing that wisdom with efficient ease. I’m a first-born Aries, and it shows—but I will gladly spend the day sipping tea, contemplating life, and engaging in deep conversation.
For as much as I’m energized by the fire of a great connect, a new idea, or an invigorating project, I’m the kind of girl who needs to pause often to take in the beauty of this world we live in; for me, this looks like enjoying a sunset, watching my kids play, or simply cuddling on the couch with my cat, a cup of tea, and a good book.
I’ve slayed a few dragons and weathered a few storms in my days. When the legal career that supported this single mom no longer aligned with my family or soul needs, I took a leap, from freelance editor to book coach and now proud owner of Ink Worthy Books. I know I am exactly where I need to be: bearing the torch and tending the flame of the world’s most essential word-weavers.
Outside of business, words continue to color my life through music, books, movies, art, and writing. I thrive on staying active—you can find me going on adventures and making magic with my kids, traveling, kickboxing, lifting heavy in the gym, exploring the parks and river valley near my home, geeking out about Human Design or gemstones, or taking cat naps with my furry feline friend Layla.
Think we’ll get along like matching bookends?
I’d love to chat with you about starting your journey!
Partnership is at the core of our work
You shouldn’t have to spend your time managing multiple contacts or sifting through online directories, poorly managed Facebook groups, and hours of TikTok videos to find the right person for one particular piece of the multi-staged journey that is book creation.
For a soulful book and a just-as-magical journey to publishing it, you need a team’s worth of support with a personal partnership feel.
(That’s exactly why we’re here!)
Whether you start in the Soulful Nonfiction School, coaching, or publishing services, you’ll have ONE point of contact throughout your journey with us!
(But know that there’s a whole lot of magic makers working behind the scenes to support this space AND your work!)
From visionary sounding boards, to editing, design, and marketing pros, IWB has a team of amazing gals (yes, all women!) helping turn your words into published pages.
Self-publishing is a path of dedication and quality (most certainly NOT an easy way out of the hard work).
To craft a book you’re proud to put your name on, you’ll need to find your crew of supporters and professionals to walk with you!
You get out what you put in—self-publishing is not synonymous to “free” publishing or literally doing it all by yourself.
Your heart-mined message matters more than any trendy topic (even if it feels like your message is already on shelves).
To write a book with real impact, you need both structure (strategic planning + accountability) and flow (creative support + a writing experience tailored to your energetic needs).
The world needs more humans unafraid to write from their soul and open to sharing their hard-won wisdom and unique transformational experiences.
Ready to finally self-publish the book that’s been swirling in your heart? Ready for it to land in the hands of waiting and eager readers?
We can’t wait to support you on your adventure!
