First, I panicked. Then I published.

In 2020, I opened a diabetes-focused private practice—two weeks before the pandemic brought outpatient services to a screeching halt.

I did what any reasonable person would do. I panicked.

Then, I published. I created sample content pieces and pitched healthcare publications. Within weeks, an editor offered me $1 per word.

Since then, I've written hundreds of consumer-facing articles and done medical review for consumer publications too.

I've also self-published a book that generates recurring income and built multiple revenue streams around my expertise.

Writing-for-hire brings income quickly. It also requires ongoing pitching and contract negotiation.

The real money came when I used my book as the foundation for digital products, courses, and coaching...when I stopped trading time for dollars and started building assets.

Now I help healthcare providers turn their clinical expertise into published books with strategic launches—without burning out or wasting years trying to figure it out alone..

You can do this too. Even with a full-time job. Even as a parent. Even if you've never written a book before.

You just need the right roadmap.

That's what Published & Profitable is all about.
