In Pursuit—

We all seek clarity of vision. Sometimes, you need an outside voice to help you find it. You don’t have to walk your creative path alone. I will help you think through your message and content needs.

What you can expect from our time together.

  • Listening is the secret to understanding. I love hearing clients gush about their visions for their projects. Your vision needs to be heard, understood, and championed. I will bring a posture of “up-building” to your project, which begins with understanding exactly what you want to accomplish.

  • I have over 16 years of experience in the publishing industry, content recreation, social media strategy, business vision casting, and creative consulting. I also bring my coaching experience in athletics to the table, applying the principles of peak mental performance to all areas of vocational life.

    My clients include New York Times bestselling authors, multi-platinum Grammy award-winning musicians, former NFL MVPs, pastors, teachers, home educators, high school athletes, aspiring writers, and Fortune 500 companies. 

    I’ve helped CEOs, university leaders, writers, designers, pastors, and entrepreneurs publish books, write scripts, create online and print media, and strategically craft brand messaging. From ghostwriting books to writing coaches, brand messaging, and social media content development, I will help you cut through confusion and jargon, find your story, and help you tell it.

    But what if you aren’t looking to publish a book, build an online presence, rebrand your business, or get creative advice? What if you need a life collaborator—someone to inspire you to take the necessary steps to get out of the rut and onto your vocational path? You’ll want to explore my new Light Group.

  • I know the value of honest feedback on a creative project. I value straight talk, and you do, too. You want someone in your corner who will not sugarcoat hard truths about an idea, challenge your thinking in an age where all anyone wants to do is patronize you, and offer you a path forward rather than let you settle for the status quo.

What should I do?

I get this question often. Getting stuck with an idea is part of the creative process. And idea ruts aren’t unique to “creatives.” Ideas are part of the human experience. You get them in business endeavors, as a young person transitioning into and out of college, as an adult transitioning to a new field, and as a writer wrestling with a new idea. We all ask, “What should I do?” I’m here to help you work through it and find your creative path.

    • I have all these ideas for blogs, articles, and books, but I don’t know where to start.

    • I’ve written several chapters of my book but need help with structure and flow.

    • I think I want to self-publish, but I have no idea what that looks like. Can you help?

    • I need help thinking through my Substack content.

    • I have a book deal, but I need a conversation partner who will help me think through my big idea and how it weaves through each chapter.

    • Can you help me write a book proposal?

    • I have this book idea. What should I do with it? Should I self-publish, traditionally publish, or start a Substack?

    • Our organization needs help with its brand messaging and identity. Our social media and blog posts are not gaining traction. How should we be thinking about this?

    • I’m a CEO or business owner. Can you help me gather my thoughts and turn them into content?

    • Platform building overwhelms me. Is there another path? How should I be thinking about building my audience?

    • I can’t seem to establish healthy, creative rhythms. I feel burned out and don’t know how to regain my confidence. What should I be doing?

—Sara Hagerty, bestselling author of Every Bitter Thing is Sweet

“After eight years of writing books, I had an ‘Aha!’ experience while working with Tim Willard on my next one. His ability to dive into the details of a concept and draw out a clear progression took me from feeling stuck in my notes to being ready to write. But even more than that, it was as if he accidentally coached me through the intricacies of the craft. I say it accidentally because it wasn't part of our agenda, but it came naturally to him. The entire process enabled me to move into writing my book with ease and passion.”

—Lacey Sturm, Co-founder of platinum-selling rock band Flyleaf, solo rock artist, author of The Return

“Wrestling to communicate the transcendent beauty within my darkest memories was where I met Timothy Willard. He helped me write 3 books. I wanted to write to people wondering how a pain-filled life is worth living. Tim helped me teach mourners how to marvel at rainbows that appear in the tears still clinging to our lashes. It’s easy for Tim to put words to the stunning nature of the beautiful because he truly sees the world this way.”
