The Story Behind Narrative Shift Pathway Studio

This studio exists because I believe authors deserve clarity, agency, and support without pressure or gatekeeping.

Why This Work Matters to Me

Narrative Shift Pathway Studio was created from lived experience, not theory.

I’m a self-published author who learned the publishing process by doing it myself. Along the way, I saw how confusing, overwhelming, and opaque the industry can feel, especially for first-time authors. I also saw how often writers were pressured into decisions that didn’t feel aligned, rushed, or fully understood.

I didn’t want to recreate that system.

I wanted to build something different. A space where authors could receive professional guidance without giving up ownership of their voice, their work, or their autonomy.

That’s the foundation this studio is built on.

How I Work With Authors

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all publishing paths.

Some authors want hands-on guidance from start to finish. Others need support in specific areas like setup, formatting, or design. My role is to help you understand your options clearly, choose what fits your goals, and move forward with confidence.

I’m here to guide, not decide for you.

Every recommendation I make is rooted in transparency, respect for your story, and long-term sustainability, not quick wins or upsells.

What You Can Expect (And What You Won’t)

What I Do

  • Provide clear, ethical guidance through the self-publishing process

  • Help authors publish independently with full ownership

  • Offer flexible support options without pressure

  • Explain the “why” behind decisions so you can make informed choices

  • Treat every story with respect and care

What I Don't Do

  • Act as a traditional publisher or literary agent

  • Take ownership of your work or royalties

  • Push services you don’t need

  • Promise unrealistic outcomes or timelines

  • Use sales tactics to create urgency or fear

Experience You Can Trust

I’ve published multiple books across different formats and genres, and I’ve supported authors at various stages of their publishing journeys. More importantly, I understand what it feels like to be standing at the edge of “What now?” with a finished manuscript and too many opinions coming at you.

This studio exists to make that moment feel grounded instead of overwhelming.

If you’re feeling unsure about the next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
