The Author's Coaching Program
If you've ever said,
“I know there's a book in me”
This program was created for you.
Whether you have pages of unfinished drafts or haven't written a single word, if you know you have a story, message, or expertise that could help others, it's time to stop talking about writing a book and start becoming the published author you're called to be.
In just 14 months, we take you from book idea to published author — with a beautifully designed hardcover book, professionally published and ready for your Barnes & Noble debut.
What H.O.P.E. Means
Heroes On a Path of Expansion
H.O.P.E. stands for Heroes On a Path of Expansion. We believe every person with a story is a hero in their own journey — and publishing your book is the next expansion of who you are meant to become.

Past Retreats
Where the writing really happens
From Newport Beach sunsets to the mountains of Golden, Colorado, our past Writing Retreats have given authors the time, coaching, and community to turn an idea into finished chapters. Days of focused writing, evenings of laughter and celebration — and friendships that last long after the book is published.
You Need To Know This
Your book becomes your legacy, your message, and a powerful expression of your expertise.
A published book elevates your existing career while creating new opportunities in speaking, consulting, media, partnerships, and additional streams of income. We help you turn your message into a platform, position you for greater visibility, and create a foundation for profitability.
Our Mission
H.O.P.E. Publishing House publishes extraordinary stories from ordinary people that inspire hope and leave a lasting positive impact on the world. We teach our authors how to write their book with ease, promote their book with authenticity, and be transformed themselves as their story transforms others.
The Hero's Journey
There is a last phase of the hero's journey that everyone forgets. The hero leaves, they overcome, they grow. But then they come back — and tell their story to the tribe. H.O.P.E. Publishing House helps heroes complete that journey, so you finish with cash, credibility, and clout.
“H.O.P.E. Publishing House changed my life! In just nine months of coaching, I fulfilled my 20-year dream of writing my book. If you dream of writing a book too, don't hesitate to do the Author's Program. You'll be so glad you did!”
— Kristine Casart, Author of The Unconventional Addict
