The Idea to Author Coach!

Hi there! Welcome to my page, where I help aspiring writers achieve their dreams of becoming published authors. My name is Mick, known online as The Doctor of Digital, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you.

Growing up in a working-class family, I was surrounded by people who worked hard to provide for their families. My father was a factory worker, and my grandfather was a truck driver. Before that, our family had a long history of farming. But despite our humble beginnings, my parents were determined to break the cycle of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their children.

My parents were the first in their respective families to graduate from high school, let alone college. In fact, other than a half-uncle, I was the first in my family to even attend college. And I was considered "not college material" by my teachers. But my parents instilled in me a love for reading, learning, and a strong work ethic, which helped me overcome the odds and achieve my academic goals.

Throughout my academic journey, I wrote over 85 academic papers, earned three advanced degrees, including a PhD, and earned nine certificates in executive management, and educational technology. Not surprisingly, I became a professor, teaching 35 college-level courses. I even held leadership positions such as Campus Dean, Vice President, and Executive Director. But despite my many accomplishments, I never lost sight of my passion for writing.

After years of writing and teaching, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a published author. And when my first book was published as a novel, I followed that with a screenplay. Since then, I've written a non-fiction book, and I'm currently working on three more book proposals, on history, a book on music, and work-life balance, respectively. I am also active on three podcasts, have a voice talent, and am a favored speaker at conferences, sharing my expertise on educational technology. Regardless of your writing interests I can help.

But my journey didn't come without its challenges. I faced many obstacles, including self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. However, I refused to let these challenges hold me back. Instead, I used them as opportunities to learn and grow, and to develop a growth mindset that has served me well throughout my career.

As a book coach, I've had the privilege of working with many aspiring writers who are struggling to overcome their own challenges. And I've seen firsthand the transformative power of writing and storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that writing can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation.

So, if you're ready to take your writing to the next level and achieve your publishing dreams, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let's work together to overcome your challenges, develop your writing skills, and bring your stories to life.

Thank you for watching, and I look forward to working with you! Book a complimentary call now on my Calendy.
