Don Johnson and I were introduced to one another by our mutual friend, Pete Winiarski.
Over the course of our work together, we had discussions not only about the content of his book, but also about food, music, golf, and much more.
Don had an incredible first author experience. He went from 0 followers on Medium to over 8,000 in eight months. And I knew it was likely we could find an agent so he could land a traditional publishing contract, which we did.
Randy Peyser took Don’s book, Living a Conscious Life to the next level, and it was published in 2024 by SelectBooks.
Our work together was fun, meaningful, and definitely aligned with my mission to “Bring Light Into the World with Words.”
“As soon as Kathy & I met over Zoom, I knew I had the right person to help me. She listened. She got me and what I wanted to do. We started working together on a collection of essays I had written on Medium over the past 18 months. She sorted through everything, organized things, started editing, and created a manuscript.
I had times of doubt—doubting whether my book would be commercially marketable.
Kathy kept beating the drum. “You can do this. There’s an audience for what you have to say.”
If you’re looking for someone to help you bring your dream of a book to life, Kathy is your person. She has the technical skill, experience in the publishing and writing world, the network, and interpersonal skills that glue everything together.
Plus, she’s fun! 
I enjoyed working with her because she’s not only technically brilliant, but she’s also a nice person!”
