IS THIS FOR ME?

This is for you if:

✅  You're eager to write and publish a book but don't want to navigate the process alone. 

✅  If you have a crucial message or story to elevate your brand and business.

✅  You've started your first draft but don't know what to do next.

✅  You're unsure where to start or how to begin writing.

✅  You want the fast-track way to get your book published and in the hands of your potential clients within the next 12 months.

✅  If you don’t want to waste time and money trying to find experts to assist.

✅  If you want to work alongside seasoned professionals who are experts in Publishing.

✅  If you recognise the influential impact of a book in establishing your authority.

✅  If you want a quality book that meets all the Industry Standards.

 

It is not for you if:

😒 You aren't an action-taker.

😒 You are not committed to doing the work to become a published author.

😒 You want to write a fiction book (although it is still relevant, the support is more around educating business owners/entrepreneurs or changemakers to share their wisdom).

What is really stopping you?

➡️ LACK OF SELF-BELIEF
Overcoming imposter syndrome by recognizing writing as a skill that improves with practice.

➡️ FEAR OF VULNERABILITY
Acknowledging that vulnerability is a strength and embracing the courage to share authentic stories.

➡️ WAITING FOR INSPIRATION
Understanding that successful writers often create discipline and routine, with inspiration following the act of writing.

➡️  PRIORITIZING OTHERS ABOVE YOURSELF
Balancing responsibilities by setting boundaries and carving out dedicated writing time.

➡️ PERFECTIONISM
Accepting that first drafts are imperfect and embracing the iterative nature of the writing process.

➡️ PROCRASTINATION
Breaking down the writing process into smaller, manageable steps and setting realistic goals to combat procrastination.

➡️ COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
Focusing on personal growth and the joy of storytelling rather than seeking external validation.

The Solution...

Fast-track your book without sacrificing quality.
Gain collective knowledge, support, and guidance from our industry experts.
Build your business and authority faster. 
Create the ultimate lead magnet and cement your position as an expert in your field.

Michael McQueen

Author of Mindstuck

Engaging with Susan and the Dean Publishing team for my 10th book has been a delightful journey. With a background spanning from self-publishing to collaborating with major publishers in both the US and locally, I've found the experience with Dean Publishing uniquely gratifying.

The partnership with this team is characterized by a genuine sense of collaboration and shared investment in the project's success. They strike the perfect balance – being large enough to provide the necessary scale for a commendable end product, yet maintaining a small enough size for personalized, one-on-one interactions. I'm enthusiastic about future collaborations with Susan and the dedicated team at Dean Publishing. 

Esther Zeledon
Author of Creating Your Limitless Life

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Susan Dean, the visionary founder and owner of Dean Publishing. It has been my absolute pleasure to collaborate with Susan and her outstanding team, an experience that has profoundly impacted my professional journey and personal growth. From the outset, Susan’s dedication to empowering authors is unmistakable. Her genuine passion for storytelling and sharing knowledge is the heart of Dean Publishing.

She didn’t just create a company; she nurtured a platform where voices can be heard and stories can resonate with readers across the globe. Her belief in the transformative power of sharing stories and expertise is not just inspiring but also a testament to her visionary leadership. Her leadership style is a rare blend of entrepreneurial acumen and empathetic guidance.

She is a champion for authors and storytellers and any collaboration with her is guaranteed to be enriching, fulfilling, and transformative. It was no surprise that working with Susan and her team was, without a doubt, transformational. The entire process embodied collaboration and creativity. During my writing process, I felt their unwavering support. Her team reflects her values, showcasing a blend of professionalism, warmth, and exceptional talent (like amazing talent!!). Their combined efforts have been instrumental in bringing my book to life, exceeding my expectations in every way. Her approach is not just about publishing books; it’s about creating a meaningful impact through storytelling. HIGHLY recommend!

John Gray

Author of Love & Coaching - Featuring John Gray and his certified Mars Venus Coaches 

Hi, I’m Dr. John Gray, the author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, best-selling book around the world with over 15 million copies sold. And so, I feel very comfortable saying I know the publishing industry. And I know for an author it can really help your profile, your success in business and to help you reach new clients and help you be more successful.

So, I wanted my own Mars Venus coaches who around the world to have the same experience that I’ve had to various degrees to shift from being an expert to being a professional, someone that people would really trust and work with.

So, I co-authored a book with them called Love and Coaching. And with this book, I wanted to work with somebody that I trusted, somebody who could make this easy for my coaches. So, I called on Susan Dean. Susan Dean, I’ve known since 2000. She was the first female Mars Venus coach in Australia and she has a publishing company, Dean Publishing, and she will publish your book; I highly recommend her services. In the future, I look forward to working with her as well. I’ve worked with many publishers over the years and I can tell you that Susan is absolutely one of the best. So, I wish you the very best.”
