Your biggest risk? Being invisible.
A personal note from Steven Sonsino
19 February 2025 and 15 minutes in the future…
Let’s be honest.
In your industry – whether you’re in financial services or law, consulting or whatever – trust is everything.
But right now, trust is harder to earn than ever. I’ve seen it firsthand.
Especially if you’re virtually invisible to the clients who most need you.
As a former professor teaching at London Business School, in Berlin, India and in the USA, I’ve spent years watching smart, accomplished business owners struggle to get the recognition they deserved.
Now, as a publisher, I see the exact same problem — but with a much clearer solution.
Because the CEOs, Founders and Owners who get ahead aren’t always the best.
They’re the ones who own the conversation.
And nothing does that better than a book with your name on the cover.
Are you at the top of your game, the best in your field?
Here’s a hard truth… I bet you still get overlooked.
Happens all the time.
Your industry is crowded.
Your clients are drowning in so-so options.
But let’s be real — most clients can’t tell the difference between a true expert and someone who’s just good at self-promotion.
So what do they do?
They default to the one they’ve heard of.
And the people they’ve heard of?
- They’ve published books.
- They’ve been interviewed because of their books.
- They’ve built trust before the first conversation even happens.
Now, you might already be doing a lot of great things.
But if your competitors are the ones writing the books and getting the attention, guess what?
They win.
If You’re Not Writing the Book, Someone Else Is
Ever read a book in your industry and thought, “I could explain this better”?
Yeah. I hear that all the time.
And yet, those books are shaping the market, landing the speaking engagements, and closing the high-value clients.
I don’t say this to be melodramatic.
I say this because I’ve seen what happens when you don’t position yourself first.
- Your ideal clients won’t know you exist — so they’ll hire someone else.
- Your peers won’t invite you to speak — because they’re inviting the authors in your space.
- And your competitors will dominate the conversation — even if you’re better than they are.
The worst part?
They’ll probably do it with your brilliant ideas.
Your market-leading insights.
Your extensive expertise.
Just better packaged.
So think on this… a book doesn’t just get you noticed.
It makes sure you don’t get left behind.

“I Don’t Have Time to Write a Book” (And Other Problems)
Look, I get it.
I’ve written books.
I’ve published books.
And I know what a pain it can be if you try to do it on your own.
That’s why you don’t have to.
Because with our process, you don’t write a single word.
You don’t get stuck in “someday” mode.
You don’t spend months trying to piece it together, like a jigsaw puzzle made out of spaghetti.
We extract your expertise and turn it into a real, published book — while you keep running your business.
How We Write Your Book (While You Keep Running Your Business)
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: We Extract Your Expertise
Deep-dive sessions, over 12 hours or so, where we interview you to pull out your best insights, structure your ideas, and define your book’s message.
Step 2: We Write It For You
We craft a compelling, high-value book in your words, in your voice — without your lifting a finger.
And for the record ‘we’ is not AI, and it isn’t some hired hand from a dark corner of the internet.
We is me, Steven Sonsino, formerly with London Business School, together with Jacqueline Moore, my wife and business partner, the former Financial Times columnist.
Step 3: We Edit & Publish
We refine, polish, format, and get your book ready for the world.
Step 4: We Help You Launch
We don’t just hand you a book, by the way. We give you strategies to leverage it — from media angles to how to find speaking opportunities.
And in the end? You’re an undisputed, published authority.
Who We’ve Helped
We’ve worked on the following books:
✅ Computing & Tech – Helping hardware companies and software PR owners to package their knowledge.
✅ Finance & Investment – Elevating pensions advisors, and SVPs in consulting.
✅ Business Schools – Giving thought leaders a wider audience beyond the classroom.

So if there’s knowledge in your head that people should learn from, rest assured we know how to turn it into a book.
What Happens When You Have a Book?
Here’s what past clients have experienced:
✅ Clients trust them instantly. Their book builds credibility before they ever get on a call.
✅ Referrals increase. Because recommending an author is easy—it makes people look good.
✅ Speaking & media invites roll in. Because event organizers want authors, not just experts.
✅ They stop chasing, and start attracting. The right clients come to them.
And unlike your LinkedIn post that disappears in a couple of hours, a book lasts forever.
It keeps selling your expertise, even when you’re not actively promoting it.
Still Think You Don’t Have Time?
The real question isn’t whether you should start now.
It’s whether you can afford not to.
- Another year of explaining your value in detail, one client at a time?
- Watching competitors publish, while you stay in the background?
- Losing business to someone who isn’t even as good as you — just better positioned?
I’ve spent decades watching brilliant professionals get sidelined while the loudest voices take centre stage.
It doesn’t have to be that way for you.
Because a book isn’t just something to “tick off the list”.
It’s the foundation of your reputation.
Your book IS your credibility.
Your book IS your marketing.
Your book IS your legacy.
And the best part? Did I say?
You don’t have to do this alone.
