For experienced coaches, consultants and business professionals: we help you shape your knowledge into a useful book and use it to start conversations with the right clients.
Your experience deserves to be recognised.
Since 2008, Kevin Long and Babysteps Publishing have helped business leaders, consultants and professionals turn their knowledge into published books.
We help you clarify your ideas, structure and publish your book, then use it to demonstrate your expertise and start conversations with potential clients.
Start with an Authority Clarity Call to explore your idea and what you want your book to achieve.
Your existing clients know your value. New prospects may struggle to see what makes your expertise relevant to them.
Perhaps you rely heavily on referrals, find your experience difficult to explain, or feel your positioning no longer reflects what you know.
A focused book gives people a way to understand your thinking, see how you approach their problems and decide whether to work with you.
The Codified Authority Framework™ is the structured methodology we use to transform expertise into recognised market authority. Five stages. No shortcuts.
The Authority Through Authorship methodology is designed for professionals who already possess valuable expertise and want that expertise recognised at a higher level. This is typically a strong fit for: Senior consultants who want to become the recognised authority in their field. Executives transitioning into consulting, advisory, or portfolio roles. Subject matter experts whose knowledge has not yet been structured for the market. Coaches building a premium practice on the back of a distinctive methodology. Entrepreneurs and founders who want their intellectual capital to work harder. This is not for everyone. If you are looking for the cheapest route to publication, we are not the right partner. If you want a quick promotional tactic rather than a long-term authority strategy, our methodology will not suit you. If you are ready to position your expertise as a recognised authority platform, we should talk.
Over 18 years, the Authority Through Authorship methodology has been proven across every serious professional discipline.
Paralympic gold medallists and elite athletes
C-suite directors and blue-chip company founders
Solicitors and barristers
Chartered accountants and financial advisors
Management consultants and strategy advisors
Executive coaches and leadership specialists
Actors and public figures
Entrepreneurs and business owners
The methodology works because structured authority is not industry-specific.
Expertise is expertise.
The framework that transforms a consultant's knowledge into recognised authority is the same framework that does it for an Olympian.

"Kevin was right before the results existed. That is the rarest thing."
Kate came to Babysteps Publishing with a manuscript written under extraordinary personal circumstances. What Kevin provided was not reassurance. It was clear-eyed conviction, and a framework that shaped her work into something the world could receive.
The Adventures of Gabriel became an international Amazon bestseller in the UK and Canada. The Shadow of Zuff reached number one in the United States. The work has since been recognised by UK Parliament, presented to the British Psychological Society, and considered for international distribution by UNICEF.
"None of it would have happened without Kevin's initial belief. Not some of it. None of it."

The process brought structure to my expertise. I now communicate with far greater clarity and confidence. Prospects see me differently — and that changes everything about how they engage.

This was never about becoming an author. It was about positioning. The book became a powerful asset in my business and strengthened my authority in the marketplace.
If your positioning does not yet reflect the depth of your expertise, this is worth three minutes of your time.
In this 30-minute conversation, we’ll explore your expertise, your book idea and what you want the book to achieve for your business.
You don’t need a finished manuscript. Bring your questions and any ideas you’ve already developed.
If we’re a good fit, I’ll explain the support available and the next steps, so you can decide how to move forward.
