Great business books don’t happen in isolation.
They’re the result of leaders with something important to say working side by side with a professional who knows how to shape it—transforming lived experience into something worth reading and strategically positioning it for the audience they want to reach.
Turn the book in your head into your next chapter.
I’m Niles Howard. I work with executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs who have something worth saying and want to say it right.
From first draft to finished book, I shape manuscripts into narratives that teach, inspire, and endure—and that strengthen the author’s brand, credibility, and reach.
Readers come for the strategy. They stay for the story.
The best leadership books are memoirs in disguise.
They’re about long roads, hard lessons, and occasional left turns into brilliance.
Like the restless Sierra kid who backpacked through Asia and came home to build a business empire.
Or the pilot whose brush with death rerouted his life. Or the Carolina farm boy who turned a lost shot at football greatness into C-suite success.
A good book doesn’t just recap a résumé. It hits the human notes: loss, grit, detours, redemption. That’s the stuff that sticks.
“You turned my ideas, stories, and voice into a far better book than I could have written alone.”
—Bob Campana, author of Don’t Look Down!, a 2025 Amazon best-seller
Avoid those 2 AM death spirals — staring at a white screen, wondering where to begin.
Most books don’t die from a lack of skill or good material. They collapse under the weight of indecision, frustration, and long evenings eyeing a merciless blinking cursor.
Why? Because authors are too close to the story. Too tangled up in their own histories to see what’s interesting. That’s not a flaw; it’s just human.
With fresh eyes, I spot the big arcs, the oddball moments, and the buried gems. Then I help turn those triumphs, detours, and lucky breaks into a book that keeps readers up past midnight and maybe makes them feel something, too.
You talk. I write. The result? A book that inspires and energizes readers.
In weekly recorded interviews, I ask pointed questions that dig up forgotten moments, sharp insights, and the occasional jewel hiding in your mental attic.
Then I sift through it all for themes and threads that hold it together. Your challenges, achievements, and lessons learned will connect with readers on a deep level. Your book will help them confidently face business and personal challenges. That’s true leadership.
Captivate with tales of battles lost and won.
A good business book doesn’t just deliver insights; it brings them alive. Readers will zone out fast if you advise them to “pivot in tough markets.” But they will remember what you shared about the night you almost gave up, the risks you took, the phone call that changed everything.
A great book doesn’t just tell your story — it positions you.
It sharpens your message, builds your audience, and opens doors you didn’t know existed.
It changes how people see you — and how you see yourself.
I help you shape the story and the strategy behind it.
Publishing a book moves you from success story to storyteller, from builder to author.
It strengthens your brand, deepens your credibility, and outlasts every quarterly report.
If you can spare a few hours a week, I’ll deliver a publisher-ready manuscript — clear, compelling, and built to last.
