Here’s why I love collaborative books (esp how we do them at Synergy Pub!).

Book #2 in our collaborative book series, Unveiling the Secrets, is coming soon! While collaborative or multi-authored books are not new, we have a unique approach to them that I want to share...

- we keep our author list low (up to around 10 max); many multi-authored books have your name in a laundry list of 20-50+ contributors

- you are fully visible in the book listing bc we can actually list you as a contributor (KDP maxes at 10)

- you work alongside us and your co-authors as you create your chapter/contribution

- you receive in-depth, genuine feedback on your piece, and support with revision and editing

- got more than one thing to write? We allow our authors to have 2-3 shorter pieces if they want

- bc we actually list you as a contributor, you can create and connect your Amazon author page to the book adding more credibility & visibility

- our authors are invited to speak and own their writing at our annual in person writing workshop and book fair party

- community! As one of our authors put it, people who contribute are part of a community that connects and collaborates in a variety of ways

So, yea, the support of myself, , , and provide our collaborative book authors is unprecedented!

If this sounds like a community you want to be a part of, we have a simple author submission process.

New look!! How did we get here?

My business journey started as a side-hustle! Even though I was a tenured professor of English, I got licensed as a massage therapist in 2016 & began working with a small group of clients in 2017. I earned $5k that year in my side hustle & I was stoked!

I discovered coaching & hired my first coach in 2018. Massage & life/self-care coaching seemed so powerful to me. I started to feel into whether this could be my way out of academia (bc by then I was “done”). I didn’t want to do massage full time, but there was something about coaching, creating containers of support to hold space for people, & breaking out of time for money that really called to me. By 2019, I had a brick & mortar space for my “side hustle,” that had quickly become a second full-time job. I also created my official umbrella company, Synergy Wellness Group LLC, & felt super legit.

Continuing to play, explore, not know what the hell I was doing, while also feeling my way forward with amazing support along the way, my company grew. And in 2021, I combined my super powers as a then certified BodyMind Coach & 20+ yrs experienced English teacher to begin supporting people in getting their words down & into books, articles, & more. I also taught my last semester as a professor! My team grew as well bc I knew I couldn’t do this alone, & in the fall of 2022 we helped publish our first book… 3 actually!

Now, well into 2024, we have supported dozens of aspiring authors find their voice, writing style, & process that works for them! We have helped over 30 authors & 25 books be birthed into the world! We have a collaborative book series, Unveiling the Secrets, that now takes submissions from any author (shanahartman.com/authorsubmissions). We host retreats (next one in Sept). My next book, Writing is (Not That) Hard, is coming this fall.

So, yea, while Synergy Wellness Group is the “mother” tree whose roots anchor all aspects of my business & helped me get started, it was time for Synergy Publishing Group to have it’s own logo!

Thank you to , my talented designer and publishing goddess for the new look! And to & ! Go team!
