I am Joe Maxwell, an award-winning writer and editor who specializes in writing books for or with aspiring authors.

    For over 30 years, I've helped people realize their book-writing dreams, and I'd love to talk with you about your plans and ideas.

    As a first-time author, you may be excited, energized, and perhaps a bit overwhelmed when pondering the journey ahead. After all, you only write your story once, and the process can seem mysterious and daunting!

     No worries. Since 2003, my company, LifeStory Publishing, has helped folks precisely like you.

     Together, we can craft a captivating narrative that says the right things (your stories) the right way (your voice) for the right audience (family, friends, others).

     And better yet, we'll have fun doing it!
