WRITE YOUR BOOK
High-Touch Guidance from a Publishing Insider
Shape a Book That Agents, Editors, and Readers Will Say “Yes!” To
Hello, Writer, Author, Creator!
Yep, you know it as well as I do. It’s a new Year.
It’s time to WRITE YOUR BOOK!
Imagine holding your finished manuscript—brimming with purpose and ready to open doors for speaking engagements, industry connections, and a powerful legacy.
I’m Jevon Bolden, a 20-year publishing veteran, author of eight books, and CEO of Embolden Media Group. I don’t just write books—as a literary agent, author coach, and previous acquisitions editor, I’m what many call a publishing gatekeeper, actively signing and shaping projects, and now I want to help you create a book that truly resonates with decision-makers.
If you’re ready for clarity, structure, and the support you need to finally write the book you’ve been dreaming of, then I’m excited to announce that registration for Write Your Book is officially OPEN!
After two incredible rounds of mentorship and book launches, I’m ready to help a new group of writers bring their nonfiction books to life.
If you’ve ever found yourself saying…
“I want to write a book, but I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin. I really need help.”
“I have so many with ideas, which is the right one to start with?”
“I want to write my book, but life gets in the way and I never find time.”
“Marketing my book sounds intimidating—I’m not a marketing expert. I’m a writer. How am I supposed to do both?”
“I’m not sure if I should self-publish or pursue a traditional deal. What’s the best route for my goals?”
This mentorship program was designed just for you. It is my goal to help guide you from uncertainty to clarity, from half-finished dreams to a completed manuscript—one that’s ready to make a real impact.
What Makes This Mentorship Special
1. Hands-On, High-Touch Mentorship
This isn’t a self-paced course or a peer-led group you’re left to figure out on your own. As your mentor, I’m fully engaged—reading your work, offering in-depth feedback, and equipping you at each phase of your journey. You benefit from direct access to my industry expertise, ensuring you don’t waste time on guesswork or generic advice.
2. Publishing Gatekeeper & Decision-Maker
I’m not just an author giving writing tips. As a publishing professional—one who’s been on the front lines of acquiring, editing, and green-lighting proposals—I know what it takes to get agents and editors to lean forward and say, “Yes, we want to publish this.” Whether you want a traditional deal or an independent path, I’ll help you craft a manuscript that stands out in a crowded marketplace.
3. Faith & Inclusivity
My mentorship integrates spiritual discernment with industry know-how. I prioritize diversity, champion underrepresented voices, and create a supportive environment where every writer’s story is honored.

Why I Created This Mentorship
I know what it’s like to carry the weight of a book idea without the clarity or tools to write it. I also know the tremendous power that comes when those words are finally put on the page.
With 20 years of experience in publishing—working with best-selling authors, emerging voices, and writers just like you—I created this mentorship to give you what I wish every writer had: a proven process, professional guidance, and a supportive community.
This course isn’t just about writing a book—it’s about writing the book you were meant to write.

Write Your Book cohort #1 alum
Jevon Bolden is nothing short of extraordinary! As an agent and mentor, she combines her deep publishing expertise with an unparalleled gift for guiding writers through the book development process.
Her Write Your Book Mentoring Program is a transformative experience for any aspiring author seeking to craft a meaningful and impactful manuscript. One of the most valuable aspects of Jevon’s mentoring is her ability to help writers uncover the heart of their message. Her insights were invaluable in helping me focus on areas I might have overlooked, such as word choice, the flow between sections, and the emotional journey of my audience.
Her step-by-step approach, encouraging demeanor, and genuine passion for helping authors shine made the writing process less intimidating and infinitely rewarding. If you’re looking to write a book that truly resonates, I can’t recommend Jevon Bolden and her mentoring program enough! Her program helped me take my manuscript from a collection of ideas to a cohesive, reader-focused narrative that I’m incredibly proud of.
If you're looking to write a book that not only reflects your passion but also has the power to impact lives, I wholeheartedly recommend Jevon Bolden's mentoring program. It’s an investment in yourself, your message, and your God-given vision.
Thank you, Jevon, for helping me bring my dream to life!
