Kevin Seney
I help leaders turn the story only they can tell into a book they can hand across the table
Most leaders already have a book. It's the story they've told a hundred times.
I'm Kevin Seney, CEO of Wake Up Publishing, the house Steven E founded in 1992. Author of 40+ books and co-author of two #1 Amazon category bestsellers.
My first book took me 13 years to finish. The story was never the hard part. Finishing it was. My sessions are built to save you those years.
Where most of my authors start: the Pocket Authority Book. A true 4x6, made to fit in your pocket and be handed across the table. One 60-minute recorded conversation becomes 60 to 80 pages in your voice, published on Amazon.
Before publishing, I built a company and sold it. I've been featured on CNBC and spoke at Inman's Real Estate Connect. Publishing has run in my family since 1899, and I'm a licensed pilot.
Start with a free 20-minute consult. Tell me the story. I'll tell you straight whether it's a book.
