I’ve been working with Natalie for many years, and we’ve now teamed up to collaborate together. I’m thrilled to introduce her new publishing company, Divine Flow Publishing Co., where we publish beautifully designed non-fiction books by spiritual entrepreneurs who are raising the planet’s vibration. As the official book cover designer for the company, this feels like a dream come true—something I’ve wanted for so long, though I don’t think I’ve ever said it out loud.
I’ve designed covers for many companies, but never like this, where I get to create exactly the type of covers that light me up. I’m so grateful that Natalie chose me, and I couldn’t be happier to start this exciting new chapter of my career with her by my side.
What’s funny is that part of why I started creating book covers was because of Natalie’s own inspiring career shift from astrology. Watching her transition her business with such grace made me realize I didn’t have to stay in a box that no longer fit who I was. I could evolve my business without tearing it all down, and so I did. And here we are! It’s amazing how the universe leaves breadcrumbs, and when you follow them, beautiful, synchronistic things fill the open spaces you create. I never imagined this would be what filled that space, but I’m so glad it did.
Below, you can find out more about the company in my interview with Natalie. You can also check out the interview she did with me on her blog here, and explore how to work with our publishing company if it feels aligned!
What inspired the creation of your publishing company?
I’ve always been on this crazy mission to find the best and most efficient ways to help the world spiritually evolve, and I have tried a variety of different healing modalities over the years to try to do that. This includes astrology, hypnotherapy, Reiki, sound healing, and even business coaching so that entrepreneurs can create more ease, flow, and freedom. I finally had an aha moment that my biggest spiritual breakthroughs have come from reading books, so writing books seemed like the best way to help the most amount of people at once. However, as someone who had a book traditionally published, I was familiar with how outdated and manipulative the publishing industry has become. I wanted to create a new age publishing company that would be nurturing and supportive to the authors as they change the world for masses of people through their soul’s work.
Can you share your process for selecting the projects and authors you work with? What qualities or themes resonate most with your team?
For the most part, they select us! We seek to attract spiritual entrepreneurs who are raising the vibration of the planet and want to leave behind a legacy of their life’s work so far – something that can live on even after their time on earth in this lifetime has come to an end. The books we publish feature rich storytelling combined with practical, no-fluff wisdom where you can really get to know and trust the author as if they are a friend. We want to normalize the new age and the more so-called “woo woo” themes people are still talking about in secret but need to be shared because they would create a massive wave of change and transformation for the collective whether it’s related to energy healing, nature medicine, spiritual awakenings, starseeds, work with the divine feminine, channeling your own intuitive guidance, and so much more.
How do you support authors through the writing, editing, and publishing process, both practically and emotionally?
We have an amazing dream team to make the publishing process as streamlined and supportive as possible. Unlike most publishers, we work with our authors right at the point where they have an idea for a book and provide coaching through the process of outlining the book and breaking it down into smaller sections to write it. This happens alongside the editor that will be providing feedback for the book when the first draft is complete. In addition to handling all of the publishing, printing, and audiobook engineering details, we also help our authors build their online platform and promote the book as it’s moving into the pre-launch phase and in the years after it is launched so that it can reach all of the people who need to read it most.
How does your company integrate a conscious or spiritual ethos into your publishing practices?
We believe in divine timing and not rushing the process. If you feel called to write a book, it’s because you were meant to be the one to write it. However, that doesn’t mean you need to hustle or sacrifice your wellbeing in the process. We believe in going with the flow and trusting that the universe’s wisdom will flow right through you in exactly the way it’s meant to… that your words will transform exactly the right lives they were meant to. Authenticity, vulnerability, and rawness is also important because your readers want to hear your true story – not as an elevated expert to be put on a pedestal but as someone who has also made mistakes along their journey. We want our authors to tell their story their own way and this means they are always the one calling the shots on which of our suggestions they wish to adopt and which they want to toss.
What advice do you offer first-time authors to help them navigate the challenges of getting published?
There are many roads to creating a published book. I suggest having a lot of patience and prioritizing your writing practice because nothing can be published if nothing is written. That is the hardest part! From there, you can make decisions on the best way to get it out into the world as it aligns with your values. I think it’s also important to know that your book may not make a lot of money on its own – it’s more about the opportunities the book can lead towards. Don’t write a book to get rich. Write a book to leave behind the impact that will create the change you want to see in the world. Write a book to elevate the world’s awareness of your soul work. Write a book to truly connect with the people who need your wisdom.
What are some of your favorite spiritual books and why?
I have so many! I love The Sophia Code by Kaia Ra because it is like the divine feminine version of the bible. I have reread it many times including out loud to myself all the way through so I could really soak up the magic. Every paragraph elevates your consciousness in a way you may not be fully able to understand as you’re reading it, but you can feel the energetic codes radiating through you.
I also love Initiation by Elisabeth Haich. It’s the story of a woman who remembers her past life as an Egyptian pharaoh’s daughter being initiated into the priesthood. It makes you feel like you are right there going on the journey of initiation with her. It starts out very slow until you get to about Chapter 20, and then begins ramping up with each chapter bringing more and more profound spiritual concepts. I always get excited to recommend this one because it had me howling by the end – it’s so intense and powerful!
A few others I love include It’s Not Your Money by Tosha Silver, The Lemurian Way by Lauren O’Thyme, Your Soul’s Gift by Robert Schwartz, The Search for Hidden Sacred Knowledge by Dolores Cannon, and Journey of Souls by Michael Newton.
As your book cover designer, could you share what your experience has been like working with me over the years?
Jennifer has such a beautiful talent for channeling her healing gifts through the art and design she creates. Even though I was once an artist and designer myself, I always prefer to work with her because I know that she is going to create something stunning that will truly inspire me and the people I hope to touch through my work. She always goes above and beyond my expectations whether she is creating an illustration, book cover, or providing photography for a book. She understands what our clients and readers are looking for and helps make their soul’s work shine even more brightly. I couldn’t imagine having a publishing company without her beautiful designs!
