Hi, I'm Pia, and self-publishing my books has changed my life!
I’m a 5x Bestselling Author, Book Doula, Certified Editor & Somatic Energy Worker.
Before publishing my first book, I had zero confidence and followed a conventional path. I was stuck in a stressful VFX/Animation career (Pixar, Marvel, Disney) and I struggled to follow through on my passions. But in 2016, I finally trusted my intuition to write a book — and everything changed.
Since then, I’ve sold tens of thousands of books, pioneered the Hygge movement, and built a steady stream of book sales leading to multiple six figures in royalties. My books have been translated, picked up by traditional publishers worldwide, and featured in Elle, MindBodyGreen, Buzzfeed, and even an Old Navy ad!
AND... I started with zero writing credentials, zero audience, and zero marketing experience!
My books gave me the freedom to quit my stressful 10+ year career and step fully into my dream life. Along the way, I’ve helped thousands of authors write and self-publish their books using the proven system inside Dream Book Academy. I’ve worked at two publishing houses, taught self-publishing and book marketing at UBC, and know all the insider secrets to help you succeed.
You don’t need fancy publishers, a huge audience, or writing credentials. You just need to start, even if you only have 10 minutes a day.
Let’s make some book magic happen, shall we?
Our Core Values
That we never compromise on.
Growth
We believe we are the creators of our lives and there is no limit to what we can achieve. We take personal responsibility instead of the victim mindset, because we know that to publish a book, become an author, and design our dream life, it's essential to adopt a growth mindset and openness to learning something new, so we can become the best version of ourselves.
Authenticity
Our best writing comes from a place of bold and authentic creative expression. Our aim is to help everyone feel safe to express who they truly are, no matter what society has told them. When we achieve a state of alignment and flow, writing becomes effortless. A byproduct of radical authenticity is connectedness, health, joy, inner peace and abundance.
Support
Support, encouragement, and kindness are keystones to our success, as pursuing our authentic and creative selves can often feel isolating. We see the best in others without judgment, and lift each other up. We foster a strong and supportive community of caring and inspired individuals to ensure everyone feels they are supported along their journey.
