Frequently Asked Questions
Green Heart Living Press is an author-first hybrid publishing house. We help writers turn true stories into books that heal, inspire, and leave a legacy. Every voice is valued.
We work with authors writing memoir and true story, especially those exploring transformation, healing, and legacy. Many of our authors come from backgrounds in coaching, wellness, leadership, and helping professions. If your story has changed you, we want to help you tell it.
You stay the owner of your story. Our publishing agreements are non-exclusive and you retain all your rights. We believe authors should never have to give away the life of their own book.
Every manuscript moves through a guided path: vision, writing, editing, design, proof and publish, and launch. You’re never handed a template and left alone. You’re walked through the threshold, one step at a time, with real support along the way.
Timelines vary by manuscript and program, but most authors move from early draft to published book within several months to a year. Your coach will map out a timeline built around your story and your life.
Both. Alongside publishing services, we offer coaching programs like Write Your Light and the Abundant Author® Emergence, designed to help you write the manuscript before it ever reaches production. Many authors join us for the writing journey and stay for the publishing one.
Yes. Many of our authors start with only a story in their heart and no pages yet. Our coaching programs exist exactly for this stage, to help you move from idea to complete manuscript with real structure and support.
We are author-first, always. That means trauma-informed guidance, a whole-person approach to the writing process, and a belief that your story is sacred, not just a product. Our founder holds an MSW (Master’s in Social Work) and brings a somatic, expressive-arts lens to every stage of the work.
Reach out for a conversation. We’ll talk about where your story is right now and what kind of support fits your next step, whether that’s coaching, publishing, or both. Book a publishing consult here.
Yes. The Abundant Author® is the wider brand home for what we offer beyond one-on-one publishing support. It includes our LinkedIn newsletter, The Abundant Author® Guidebook, and a series of programs built to help writers step into successful, thriving, book-centric, purposeful work.
The Green Heart Living Podcast is the best place to start. Many episodes feature real authors who have worked with us, sharing their own threshold moments and the stories behind their books. Listening is a beautiful way to hear what’s possible for your own story.
