My parents were the first in their families to graduate from high school, let alone college. Me? Teachers said I wasn’t “college material.”But books saved me.They became more than stories—they became survival. They taught me to think, to question, and eventually, to write. That love of learning carried me through three advanced degrees, 85 academic papers, and a life in higher education: professor, campus dean, VP, executive director.But none of that erased the boy inside me who wanted to tell stories.So I did. I wrote a novel. Then a screenplay. Then a non-fiction book—and now, three more are in the works: one on American history, one on music, and one on the tension between work and life. I also host three podcasts, speak at national conferences, and coach authors like you—visionaries with a story that matters.And here's what I know:Most books don’t fail because the writer isn’t smart enough.They fail because the structure collapses before the message lands.Because the heart of the story gets buried in doubt, perfectionism, or the fog of too much information.That’s where I come in.As a book coach, I specialize in literary CPR. I help thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and aspiring writers resuscitate their voice, shape their message, and write books that build authority, not gather dust.I've lived the academic grind.

Welcome to my page, where I help aspiring writers achieve their dreams of becoming published authors. My name is Mick, known online as The Doctor of Digital, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you.Growing up in a working-class family, I was surrounded by people who worked hard to provide for their families. My father was a factory worker, and my grandfather was a truck driver. Before that, our family had a long history of farming. But despite our humble beginnings, my parents were determined to break the cycle of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their children.My parents were the first in their respective families to graduate from high school, let alone college. In fact, other than a half-uncle, I was the first in my family to even attend college. And I was considered "not college material" by my teachers. But my parents instilled in me a love for reading, learning, and a strong work ethic, which helped me overcome the odds and achieve my academic goals.Throughout my academic journey, I wrote over 85 academic papers, earned three advanced degrees, including a PhD, and earned nine certificates in executive management, and educational technology. Not surprisingly, I became a professor, teaching 35 college-level courses. I even held leadership positions such as Campus Dean, Vice President, and Executive Director. But despite my many accomplishments, I never lost sight of my passion for writing.After years of writing and teaching, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a published author. And when my first book was published as a novel, I followed that with a screenplay. Since then, I've written a non-fiction book, and I'm currently working on three more book proposals, on history, a book on music, and work-life balance, respectively. I am also active on three podcasts, have a voice talent, and am a favored speaker at conferences, sharing my expertise on educational technology.
