Welcome to Spiritus Books!


During our decades as written communications experts, we’ve built our brand by supporting one author at a time. Our advertising has always been word-of-mouth, with clients finding us through referrals from other authors. Throughout the years, we’ve spent hours answering the same questions for each new client. And we’ve identified relevant, meaningful resources for authors as needed.  

Now we’re publishing this blog in order to share our knowledge more broadly with you, as a one-stop resource for experienced and first-time authors.  

We think of ourselves at Spiritus Books as an author’s best friend. We help authors navigate the complex industry, while providing the right services or introductions as needed. And we provide ghostwriting, editing, and author coaching to help you write your book to its absolute highest level.  

As such, our blog will feature relevant, actionable tools gleaned from our decades of experience in the field. We intend our content to be useful for both first-time and experienced authors, featuring: 

  • Timely updates on writing trends, hot topics, and bestsellers 

  • Tips on outlining your book or story and creating the arc for your business/leadership book, memoir, or other fiction or nonfiction piece 

  • Direction to leverage your subject-matter expertise into a speaking or consulting platform 

  • Introductions to other publishing professionals, or people you need to follow and learn from 

  • Ideas on how to tap into our (or someone else’s) author coaching, editing, and ghostwriting services 

  • Strategies to help writers identify the type of services they need and where to find them 

If you’ve written or hope to write a manuscript, or even if you wonder if you can create something exciting from the book idea that’s been stuck in your head like a seventies pop song you heard at the Piggly Wiggly, subscribe to our blog or reach out to us today for a free consultation. We want to be your go-to resource for all things book-writing.  

Besides the services we deliver at Spiritus Books, we happily refer our clients to our deep stable of writing professionals, including book layout experts, graphic designers, marketing specialists, and others. And we don’t charge you for those introductions!   

On that note, we’d like to offer you two valuable resources up front, downloadable now: 

Happy writing!
