Your Message Can Become a Story Your Audience Will Remember Forever…
Your Message Can Become a Story Your Audience Will Remember Forever…
Having a book brings credibility to you as you build your brand.
A story that touches the heart and instills powerful principles can change lives, while creating lasting and loyal connections.
Together, we can deliver that value for you and your followers.
– Jeff C.West
So, Why Write Your Memoir or Parable?
Because your story has the power to do more than inform—it can inspire.
You’re the Established Expert
You’ve already shared your knowledge through articles, podcasts, or even “how-to” books. Now, you want to go deeper. Coauthoring a parable or memoir lets you connect emotionally with your audience and deliver wisdom in a way they’ll never forget.
You’re the Business Builder
You’ve built something remarkable—and people already look to you for guidance. A book can take your influence beyond your company, giving you a national (or even global) platform while showcasing the principles that made you successful.
You’re the Influencer/Coach
You’re a consultant, coach, or speaker with a message that changes lives. Coauthoring a business parable or memoir cements your credibility, elevates your brand, and gives your clients a story-driven resource they’ll return to again and again.
You’re the Dreamer with a Story
You’ve always felt there’s a book inside you—a story worth telling. Your journey has shaped you, and you’d love to share those lessons with the world. Coauthoring helps you bring that dream to life with the guidance of someone who’s walked this path before.
So why don’t more people write their book?
The process takes a significant amount of time—even for those who already have the skills. And if you’re still building strong writing abilities, it can take years.

Why are Business Parables so Loved?
They are Stories That Move Hearts. Principles That Change Lives.
Can We Coauthor a Book People Will Love?
The best answer doesn’t come from me—it comes from the readers. Here’s a look at what they’re saying on their Amazon Verified Reviews.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I could not put this book down! The Hidden Heist is a clever mix of suspense, humor, and life lessons. What starts as a tense hostage drama quickly becomes a surprising journey of financial wisdom and personal growth.” ~ Irma P.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Streetwise to Saleswise: Become ObjectionProof and Beat the Sales Blues is an indispensable treasure trove for sales professionals and leaders alike. Crafted with the combined genius of Bob Burg and Jeff C. West, this book transcends the typical sales guide, offering a captivating narrative that is as enlightening as it is engaging. ~ Terry P.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I started reading this book and couldn’t put it down! The story was so engaging and the “lessons/rules” that were shared were so empowering! I think of seven lessons, the sixth one, “The Rising Tide Rule” is my favorite. The foundational ideas shared in this book are exceptional because they are ways to show others you care and that they matter.. ~ Val
When your message is weaved into a wonderfully crafted story… some amazing things have the opportunity to happen…
Best Selling Author of Radical Relevance, Bill Cates, CSP, CPAE
Working with Jeff C. West on The Hidden Heist has been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding collaborations of my career. From the very beginning, Jeff and I hit it off, so it felt less like “work” and more like two friends chasing down the same vision together. He immediately understood what I wanted this book to be and then took it further than I could have imagined.
Bestselling and Award-Winning Author, Bob Burg
My “business parable”, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) came out in early 2008. It turbocharged my career and accelerated it to an entirely new level. And now, having had the pleasure of coauthoring my current business parable with Jeff I can tell you from personal experience that the man is not only a joy to partner with; he is truly a master at his craft.

The most amazing part of this book, though, has been how much my life has changed. We didn’t just write a book together: we created a brand. A brand that I can now build into an empire. Working with Jeff has been a transformative experience. If you have a mission and want to work with someone who has the skill to bring that mission to life, contact Jeff. I cannot say enough good things about him, his work ethic and his writing skill. Fabulous experience all around.”

The Process? You Talk—I Write
Step One:
- Our first chat is completely obligation-free.
- We’ll talk through your story, how you’d like to use the book, who you want to reach, and how I work.
- My fee starts at $75,000, typically split into three payments.
Newest Release—Coauthored with Bill Cates
- Gold Medal Winner – Axiom Business Book Awards
- Finalist – American Book Fest Awards
- Amazon # 1 New Release – Sales
- Amazon # 1 New Release – Sales Management
Step Two:
- Once we decide to move forward, the first payment gets things started.
- We’ll have interviews to uncover your story and message.
- From there, I’ll handle the research, map out the story, and begin writing.
- You’ll see the first 2-3 chapters early on so we know we’re on the right track.
Step Three:
- I’ll step back to complete the full first draft, then refine it—like a chef perfecting a sauce.
- You’ll review the draft, and we’ll make any needed revisions before sending it to the editor.
- At this point, the second payment is due.
- Silver Medal Winner – Axiom Business Book Awards
- Finalist – American Bookfest and American Indie Excellence Awards
- Amazon # 1 New Release – Direct Sales
Bronze Medal Winner – Axiom Business Book Awards
Step Four:
- After the professional edit, we’ll make any final tweaks to the manuscript.
- You’ll receive your book in both a Word (DOCX) file and a high-resolution PDF.
- The third and final payment is due at this stage.
Traditional publishing?
I can help you craft a strong book proposal and work with your publisher on editing and design—no extra charge. Note: while I can guide you through the process, the final decision to accept your book always rests with the publisher.
Going independent?
I can oversee services like layout, cover design, ISBN and Library of Congress registration, audiobook production, and distribution to major retailers. (Those come with additional fees.)
The time to completion depends on the project – generally 6-12 months.
