Having worked on more than 300 book projects since 2006, many for globally recognized professional speakers and industry experts, Dixie brings unmatched experience and empathy to the table.

She is also the author of acclaimed titles such as From Idea to Authority, Start With the Draft, and Authority Island, the latter of which is widely recognized as a masterclass in how to move from simply being an author to becoming a true thought leader. Her clients range from CSPs and best-selling authors to aspiring speakers aiming to elevate their brand and business with a well-written book that delivers value, connection, and transformation.
