Read Between the Smiles
A Publishing Company with Open Eyes

We believe every story deserves to be told, and writers should have control over their work, empowering authors to share their voices with the world without gatekeepers standing in the way.

Our goal is to help people turn their ideas into lasting legacies by providing expert guidance, resources, and support to navigate self-publishing successfully. With a focus on quality, transparency, and author ownership, we ensure writers don’t feel lost or exploited, creating a smooth, stress-free publishing experience for those who may not know where to start.

From editing, design, and formatting to marketing support and distribution, we offer tailored publishing solutions that help authors get their books onto platforms like Amazon and IngramSpark while maintaining complete creative control.

My Books

I love books. I love editing books. I love writing books. I love coaching people about how to write books. I have even written a few.

Clients

Ghostwriting

Helping executives and thought leaders build personal brands and become influencers. Have you said, “If I had time on my hands, I would be writing more?” The online world has created an insatiable appetite for life-transforming books and new content. There are also blog posts and articles, website content, and video scripts—all combined, it may be more than one person could handle without help.

#1 Best Seller

“Thank you, Richard, for making both versions of my book reach #1 Best Seller on Amazon. I think of you every time I am on stage.”

Editing Wisdom

“I am forever appreciative. My books would not have happened without Richard’s organization skills, depth of research, respect for deadlines…” 

With Richard, You Can

“Four months later, I had my first book. I am delighted ….you may think you cannot write a book, with Richard guiding you, you can.”

"It’s for your audience. It’s for your readers.
Leave them with an impression of increase."
