A Few of Angela’s Books
Angela started her career in publishing as an editor and ghostwriter and she maintains consulting clients as a book consultant, writing partner, and literary agent exclusively to Autistic people and those who directly serve the culture and community in an affirming way. She’s written or co-written dozens of books since 1994, and helped over 2,000 people publish their books. These 3 bestselling books are a great place to start. The Incubated Author is an older book but speaks to the power of starting a movement, which is the basis of her work with the Autistic Culture Movement. Make ‘Em Beg to Work for You was written during her year-long private mentorship with neurodivergent (ADHD, Dyslexia) billionaire Richard Branson. This book explains why the rules of business don’t work for people with ADHD, Autism, and other brain differences and explains how to make work safe and productive whether you are leading the team or serving on it. Her newest book, The Equalizing Quill puts the rise of generative AI and large language models in context with disability rights and a long history of diffusion of technological innovation being a leveler for marginalized people.

The Equalizing Quill: 6 Ways Generative AI Can Boost Publication Access for Underrepresented Authors
-
Are You a Writer Who Has Been Marginalized by Traditional Publishing or Felt Overwhelmed by the Book Writing Process?
Most of the dialogue around large language model artificial intelligence is about the dangers to intellectual property owners or even the human race, but there is another side to generative AI storytelling that remains largely untold: its potential to democratize voices that matter.
Throughout the history of publishing, from the invention of the papyrus scroll to the printing press and from the typewriter to Google Docs, each new technological innovation has made it easier for more diverse voices to be heard. AI unlocks a new level of access – one with the powerful potential to democratize the literary journey for millions of people to whom book publishing has previously been inaccessible.
Drawing from how the history of technology has served as an aid to lift up marginalized communities and as an assistive aid for disabled people, Dr. Angela documents how:
Neurodivergent people, members of the global majority, and those with chronic health conditions can ethically leverage AI-assisted book writing to create impactful books.
Streamlining the writing process and minimizing burnout and compassion fatigue can make book-length projects accessible to large percentages of the population.
You can unleash AI’s potential to help you develop your book with greater precision, creativity, and quality while ensuring your voice, however unique or underrepresented, finds its rightful place in the literary world.
As AI technology rapidly advances, AI-assisted book writing is becoming increasingly accessible to writers of all backgrounds. Learning how to unlock the potential of large language models is critical for communities that have been disenfranchised and are ready to make a bigger impact on society’s thinking. It is time to read The Equalizing Quill and finally make your voice heard.

Make 'Em Beg To Work For You: 7 Steps to Find, Hire, Manage, Reward, and Release All-Star Players
-
If you are like most solopreneurs or small business owners, the desire to make your dreams come true at a bigger level requires a team that can understand your vision and get stuff done. Unfortunately, it can seem impossible, especially with the cultural differences between Gen Xers and Millennials, to ever get people to effectively do what you want.
This book reveals the reasons why it’s so hard to build a team and a work culture that get results. In it you will learn:
Exactly where you can find great employees who know how to take action and get it done
The magical formula to writing job descriptions that generate just a few high-quality applications from only the best candidates
How to conduct an interview process to make sure you don’t ever make an expensive hiring mistake
The key to saving staff members who aren’t working out and for navigating the right timing to let go of an employee who isn’t a fit
The biggest mistake most employers make with compensation plans which leads to high turnover and low happiness (hint: it isn’t about paying more)
An eye-opening revelation about how long-established systems are falling apart at work, this book picks up where classics like Rocket Fuel and Good to Great no longer connect with the realities on the ground of building a team largely of millennials.
