Writing your story, together

Turn your story into a signature book –
and your book into a platform for lasting impact.

**Hi, I’m Cat—Story Consultant, Brand Strategist, and Thought Leadership Coach.**
I help purpose-driven leaders and trail-blazing experts turn their stories into signature books, magnetic brands, and powerful platforms for lasting impact. I empower them to write, publish, and market their books in a way that not only grows their visibility—but expands their voice, authority, and reach.
Setting big goals, taking bold leaps of faith, and growing businesses and movements is something I know more than a little about. In fact, it’s part of what inspired my debut novel, *Again, Only More Like You*, which launched in April 2025.
**Writing a book isn’t just a milestone—it’s a catalyst.** It’s one of the most transformative things you can do—for your business, your brand, and your next chapter. I know because it happened to me. And I can help make it happen for you.
If you’re ready to elevate your message, grow your authority, and step fully into your voice—I’m here to guide you through every stage of the book journey: from writing and publishing to brand-building and thought leadership.

Write a story that becomes a book,
and a book that becomes a movement

I bring everything I’ve learned from my own author journey—plus 25+ years as a journalist, writer, editor, content strategist, marketer, and transformational leadership coach—to help experts publish powerful books that move readers and grow movements.
My clients are speakers, coaches, founders, and thought leaders who want to share their life story or codify their unique frameworks in a way that inspires and empowers others—while building credibility and momentum for their business or mission.
Through one-on-one mentorship, expert feedback, and structured accountability, I help you not only start and finish your book—but choose the best publishing path based on your goals, timeline, and long-term vision.
Because your book is just the beginning, I also help you:
Position your story to support your brand and business
Build a platform that attracts ideal clients and speaking opportunities
Step into your voice as a bold, trail-blazing thought leader
As your coach, I bring structure and strategy—but also creativity, flexibility, and heart. I’ll hold you to your vision and your deadlines, while giving you the space to explore, grow, and create something you're proud of.
I’ll guide you all the way to the finish line—whether that means querying agents, signing with a traditional publisher, or successfully self-publishing the book that puts your message on the map.

More Than a Book – Built for Visionaries, Designed for Change

This isn’t just about publishing—it’s about stepping into the story you were born to lead.

Unlike other coaches and hybrid publishers who offer systems and services, I offer personalized, founder-led experience that starts with your story—and expands into your identity, your platform, and your purpose. You won’t be handed off to a team or plugged into a one-size-fits-all process. You’ll be guided every step of the way by someone who’s walked this path and knows how transformational it can be.

There are many ways to publish a book—but if you’re here, you’re not just looking to get it done. You’re looking for a breakthrough. It’s not just about producing a book—it’s about helping you become the author, thought leader, and visionary your work is calling you to be. Together, we’ll write the book only you can write… one that reflects your voice, mission, and next chapter. One that positions you for lasting impact—not just a polished launch. You’ll leave with more than a finished manuscript. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a powerful story that moves the needle for your brand, business, and life.

Let’s map out your next chapter—book a discovery call and let’s talk about your story, your goals, and how I can help bring it all to life.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BOOK AND BRAND

“I can’t recommend Cat enough as a book coach and editor. I've been wanting to write a book for years but found it hard to get going. From the very first phone call, I felt a connection with Cat. She’s energetic and passionate, and you can just tell how much she loves to help authors succeed. I always end our calls feeling more confident in my writing abilities. Oh, and I’m actually staying on track with my writing!”

Shannon Talbot
“Pain Remixed is now an Amazon best-seller in Canada, and I owe a massive thank you to my incredible writing coach and editor, Catalina Margulis. Cat’s guidance made all the difference. She created a safe space that allowed me to fully express my emotions and raw experiences, teaching me the craft of memoir writing while giving me the confidence to connect deeply with readers. If you're looking for a coach who brings empathy, expertise, and a genuine belief in your story, Cat is it. Working with Cat has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my writing journey, and I recommend her without reservation.”

Joe Lyons-Rising
"Cat immediately gave me the direction and motivation to stop chasing my own tail. She helped me create a simple, organized process that released my ultra-creativity. I wrote 45,000 words over the next 12 days, completing a full first draft manuscript of the book I had been telling people for years that I was writing. Not only is Cat a great coach, but she is an expert in handling the book process from cradle to grave. I am confident that I would still be re-writing my first chapter without her!"

Matt Rogers
“I have to admit, when I first submitted my original draft to Cat, I wasn’t all that excited because I knew there was still more work to be done. What I didn’t realize at the time was just how much work! These past few months, I’ve poured everything I have into this manuscript, and I can finally, finally say I’m proud of what’s there. Thank you, Cat, for everything—your patience, intuition, and invaluable guidance have made this book so much better. I’m incredibly grateful, and proud of what we’ve built together!”

Jenni Schweers
“Working with Cat Margulis as my book editor and coach for Under Caution has been an excellent experience. Her insightful guidance and expert editorial skills brought clarity and depth to my manuscript in ways I never imagined. Cat’s ability to ask the right questions helped enhance my writing as well as motivated me to consider different perspectives. She is both a fierce advocate for your voice and a master of structure and storytelling. I’m incredibly grateful for her partnership and highly recommend her to any writer ready to take their work to the next level”

Lori Zoss
"I knew I wanted to write a book but didn't know where to start. Cat helped me take a pile of seemingly random stories and mould them into a cohesive and sensible whole that's now a bestselling book. She's awesome at teasing out the key points of your story. She's also amazing at helping you bring scenes to life so that your reader feels like they are seeing it unfold. My book is 1000 times better because of Cat's guidance and expertise as a writer and editor. I couldn't be happier. I've been recommending her to anyone who asks."

Robb Gilbear
“I love working with Catalina! She is attentive, detail oriented and leaves nothing unchecked. I can totally trust her and know she’ll make sure everything is spotless. Cat goes above and beyond to deliver a high quality product while explaining the process along the way. I am looking forward to working with her on my next book!”
