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 you 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 enough—believing that you are enough.
That book idea on your heart chose you for a reason. Your unique author voice—your experiences, thoughts, values, beliefs, perspectives, emotions, heart, and soul—has 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?
Welcome to Burning Soul Press.

How We Can Help You
Bring your soulful book idea to life with writing support and publishing services.
#1: Write Your Book
Step-by-Step Instruction to Turn Your Story Into a Published Book and You into A Confident, Best-Selling Author
We offer writing groups and personalized coaching for your journey to equip you with the exact knowledge, inspiration, and support you need to write, publish, and launch a life-changing author career.
The goal is simple: We want your story written and ready for publishing with your soul on fire because you know this is the book you were meant to write. We want you ready to share it with the world and for it to reach the people it was meant to reach.
No matter if you select our Soul Writer Journey group or 1:1 coaching, you will be well on your way to becoming a confident, best-selling author that changes lives with your words, leaving behind a legacy and powerful message that lasts forever.
Option A:
The Soul Writer Journey
The Soul Writer Journey was developed for passionate, powerhouse souls like you. This is more than a writing program; it’s a journey to write with authenticity and the empowering voice that’s unique to you. It will help you make a lasting impact in this world and take you down a path that organically aligns with your strengths, passion, and calling to fulfill your soul’s purpose– all while connecting with other soul-driven writers and creating lifelong connections.
Option B:
1:1 Book Coaching
A clear writing and publishing plan with built-in accountability is the best way to bring that story idea on your heart to life. Writing is a lonely venture. It’s why many people struggle with the motivation to finish a book once they start, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With 1:1 Book Coaching, we walk side-by-side through every step of writing, publishing, and marketing your book as you become the author you’ve always dreamed about being and crush all the goals you set out to reach.
