For the entrepreneur who’s ready to finally write the book that’s been on your heart for years:
I’ll help you write (and publish) a business book that grows your credibility, opportunities, and client list.
Without ever staring at a blank page, questioning your publishing path, or giving up along the way.
Welcome! I'm AllegraNonfiction Book Coach for Entrepreneurs
I work with industry-leaders like you who already have the hearty stories, client results, and methods that would make a page-turning business book.
What you don’t have (yet) is:
A proven writing process to take all these ideas and turn them into a compelling, organized narrative.
Clarity on the different publishing paths and which next steps to take based on your goals.
Accountability and editorial feedback to keep you on track with your writing goals.
That's where I come in.
“Our book is beyond expectations. The experience working with Allegra was simply impressive.”
Pasquale Frega
President of Phillip Morris International
The coaching and speaking industries are growing quickly. Becoming a published author sets you apart.
a high-quality business book leads to:
Marketing
Dream clients seek out your services after reading about your method and transformation.
Credibility
You share your knowledge and become the go-to expert in your industry on your subject.
Impact
A book is a way to share your method with more people at the accessible price of a book.
Attention
Instead of competing for seconds on social media, you get your reader’s undivided focus.
Speaking
You’re invited to podcasts and keynote speaking engagements and can charge higher rates.
Trust
Your readers connect with your story and method which gets them ready to work with you.
The problem?
Only about 3% of people who start writing a book ever finish their manuscript.
It's completely understandable. When you run a business, support clients, manage a team, and more – your book can easily get pushed aside.
The secret: authors of brand-building books don’t do it alone.
They rely on a proven framework and a trusted guide who knows the publishing landscape and can lead the way.
Whether you want to self-publish or pitch traditional publishers...
I’ll help you get there faster through a proven writing approach + clarity on your publishing path + feedback and accountability on your writing.

Now, I feel very equipped to reach out to the agents on my list, and after our discussions, I'm more confident in my query positioning. I'm definitely excited to put this into action!”

"I finally feel confident to start writing my book"
Before working with Allegra, I knew I wanted to write a book to go along with my keynote talks – but I was struggling with where to start. Her process was super helpful in helping me lay out my ideas in a logical order thanks to the detailed outline we created together. I really appreciate the wisdom and great ideas that Allegra brought to the process.”

“The tone of the book is perfect.”
Writing a book has been something I was thinking about for several years, but I did not have the tools to write on my own. Her listening skills and thoughtful follow-up questions are exceptional. I would say she is trustworthy to replicate your thoughts in your tone and voice.
