When it comes to transforming your knowledge into influence, few people understand the process better than Cathy Fyock, the Business Book Strategist. As both an author and a book coach, Cathy has dedicated her career to helping professionals write nonfiction books that not only showcase their expertise but also open doors to new opportunities.
“I like to say that we as authors change the world one word at a time,” Cathy shares. “If we can help someone see that they are not alone, that they are facing adversity like so many of us, then our writing is worth it.”
Cathy began her career in HR consulting in the 1980s, where she quickly recognized that writing a book was the fastest way to build credibility and visibility. After publishing her first book in 1990, she never looked back. By 2014, she shifted into book coaching full time, creating a thriving practice where she now guides consultants, speakers, and thought leaders through the writing and publishing process.
Unlike many coaches, Cathy emphasizes that book sales aren’t her primary measure of success. Instead, she views each book as a strategic tool to attract clients, grow businesses, and amplify voices. “I use my books to strategically bring people into the fold, to help them understand my process. If they can do it on their own, that’s great. But if they want someone to guide them through, that’s where I come in.”
In this interview, Cathy also discusses hybrid publishing with Ignite Press, her passion for marketing strategies that work on a shoestring budget, and even how she integrates AI to help authors sharpen their titles, bios, and summaries.
For aspiring and established authors alike, Cathy’s advice is clear: find your community, embrace ongoing learning, and remember that your book can be more than a product—it can be your legacy.
