"I work with people, not formulas. Honest. Collaborative. The goal isn't just a book — it's an impact that lasts."
— Nickcole Watkins
12+ years in book production, distribution, sales, marketing, publicity, and business development. Now fully focused on her own consulting practice......serving authors and publishers directly.
I was in an online training about how to publish my book and get it funded. Nickcole was in the room. After I shared, she sent me a private message: "I really like what you had to say. Can we connect outside of here?"
We got on the phone and talked for hours. I was blown away by her passion for the industry, her genuine interest in what I was doing, and the way she listened. Really listened.
At some point I got brave and asked her to read my book. She said she'd love to. Then she took it on vacation. Her vacation reading. Which left me sitting over here biting my fingers for weeks with two brand new worries: one, that I wrote a terrible book, and two, that I had ruined a complete stranger's vacation.
She didn't just read it......she drove home to me that I was a writer. That I had more in me than just a guy who put something together with AI. She saw it before I did. More importantly: I didn't ruin her vacation at all!
She is generous, open, and full of knowledge and connections. I count myself fortunate to have crossed her path at just the right time.
How Nickcole can help you
If you are writing a book, have written one, or are trying to figure out where to start — book a conversation with Nickcole. One hour with her is worth more than months of searching on your own.
