The Next Page in Your Success Story

You don’t want to “explore the process.” You want a finished book without wasting months (or years) spinning your wheels.

You’ve got ideas, maybe even pages, but you’re stuck. Perhaps you’re overthinking the structure, rewriting the same chapter, or wondering if the whole thing even works. I help guys like you cut through the confusion and get the book done with purpose, power, and clarity.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all generic advice. I offer real support, strategy, and accountability so you can finish faster and make it great.

I cannot say enough about Fred. He was able to guide me in the right direction to make my idea into a beautiful family history story. He asked questions, requested clarification, and told me where I needed to add to the story. It is because of him that my story is actually a book. He had great connections for me to get other things done related to the book as well. THANK YOU, FRED!

I’ve been where you are, and now I help men finish what they started.

​Hi, I’m Fred Aceves: an author, editor, book coach, and someone who knows what it’s like to pursue big goals without a clear plan.

In 1998 I left the U.S. to experience other cultures, living and working across six countries. Through all the changes, I maintained my connection to books. I read many, edited those of other writers, and even wrote a couple myself. Through it all, I discovered the importance of feedback, structure, and support for success.

​

My debut novel, The Closest I’ve Come, was published by HarperCollins in 2017. That book changed everything. With the backing of an agent and editor, I went from hopeful writer to published author. I know firsthand how different the journey is when you have the right people in your corner.

​

Now I work with men who are serious about writing books that matter. If you’ve got a story, message, or mission, I’ll help you get it on the page, shape it into something powerful, and see it through to the finish line.
