  Tools of Light graphic - 3 curving lines Our Mission Statement:
 

What we have found is that so many people feel that they have a book inside of them……I not only had a book inside of me – now, I also have a book outside of me.

Now, I want to teach others, such as yourselves, how you, too, can bring your own book to fruition. Along with my creative and talented associates – friends and family who’ve done this process with me – I want to bring my experience to each of you, at whatever level you’re at in your own book development.

Tools of Light Publishing was founded on my real and practical experience, and is nurtured by enlightened and innovative thinking. Whatever you think you know, or don’t know, about publishing - step outside the box. You, too, can make your own book a reality. We give you the tools to make it happen.

  Tools of Light graphic - 3 curving lines What does Tools of Light Publishing offer to you, the writer?
 

The short answer is, "Whatever you, the writer, need."

The longer answer is that we can help you through the self-publishing process, or we can act as your publisher. We work with both ideas and two separate types of clients. One type wants to learn everything about the process and master it in the quickest time possible. The other type of client wants us to do all the actual work. The first needs self-publishing tools, while the second needs a publisher.

Wherever your needs fall on this spectrum, we offer an approach that’s accessible, affordable, flexible and knowledgeable. We offer a process that keeps your individual needs at the forefront. And, we offer a quality – and profitable – result within a short turn-around time.

  Tools of Light graphic - 3 curving lines What are the tools of Tools of Light publishing?
  Practical:
We integrate the powerful book-publishing tools of lulu.com and the networking/marketing services of Byregion Network, along with other internet sources, into a complete resource to serve your needs. We add in our own practical knowledge and experience.

Creative:
For those in need of our more comprehensive editing & coaching services, we'll help you clarify your ideas, utilizing the treasure map approach. And, we'll help you develop a narrative structure and flow based on a creative approach that recognizes the "window character" and the "loss point" as two of the essential parts of a well-told tale. This approach works not only for fiction, but for informative material as well! In either case, the result is a strong, compelling and fully-realized piece of writing.

People:
The spirit of Tools of Light Publishing can be found in the people who make it work. Our commitment is to help writers actualize their goals. Our own spirits feed that process. Do my associates and I have a lot of irons of our own in the fire? You bet! But we aren't, to borrow from current business jargon, multi-tasking our lives. The fruits of our efforts are personal satisfaction and ever-growing, ever-rippling waves of energy that we share with our clients. As such, our mandate for Tools of Light Publishing is to offer a resource of optimism, creative verve and self-actualization. Your final product - your book - will reflect the same.

    (All good books deserve a final edit, done by a previously uninvolved editor. This provides the clarity and objectivity necessary to ensure that continuity, style and narrative flow are consistent and strong throughout. We recommend a final edit even for the first level, accomplished author, as a valuable and objective "third eye".)
