Who We Are
Burning Soul Press LLC helps soul-driven writers become best-selling, wave-making authors that inspire through their stories, words, and authentic voice. We specialize in book coaching, ghostwriting, publishing, and marketing to support our authors in their journey.
Our mission is simple: We want to empower people with your story, acknowledging the valleys and peaks of the mountains you’ve scaled, so your story can help others when shared, embracing the calling as we were all put on this earth to do. It’s letting that burning soul within free, allowing yourself to be seen and heard for who you truly are, trusting your authenticity is enoughâbelieving that you are enough.
That book idea on your heart chose you for a reason. Your unique author voiceâyour experiences, thoughts, values, beliefs, perspectives, emotions, heart, and soulâhas the power to change another’s life forever.
When joining the BSP family, we help you write, publish and market your book using our unique Soul Writer Framework. This isn’t your typical writing approach. The Soul Writer framework will challenge you to dig deep into the soulful core of who you are to embrace this new journey and the impact you’re about to make with your words, further guiding especially those with entrepreneurial spirits to turn their passionate messages into published books and social-impact missions.
Writing a book is meaningful- not something to be done quickly. If you want to do more with your dream than just write a book- you’re more focused on your message and long-term impact, you’re exactly who we want to work with.
Are you ready to share your story and fulfill your soul’s mission?
