Hi! I'm Cyndi Hughes

I just love books and working with writers. As a longtime journalist (Texas Monthly), the founding director of the Texas Book Festival, a book editor, and a publishing/marketing consultant, I’m here to share my expertise and help you transform your career as a writer or an “authorpreneur” by: 

• Advising you in turning your book idea into a published work, finishing your book-in-progress, or writing the next book you have in mind.
• Strategizing with you on how to make the jump from author to authorpreneur by building a viable publishing career. 
• Providing the expertise to help you navigate the ins and out of publishing.  

• Guiding you in developing customized marketing and launch strategies for your books. 

•  Any (or all) of the above!
