My Story of Love, Loss, and The Myths That Shape Us
The Mother Code
“A readable trek that will ring true for many struggling with infertility.” – Library Journal
“A vivid memoir of one woman’s complex path to nontraditional motherhood.” – Kirkus Reviews
Hi, I’m Ruthie Ackerman, author and founder of the Ignite Writer’s Collective.
I’ve worked with hundreds of writers at all stages of the writing process: from the seed of an idea to a polished book proposal or manuscript that’s ready for submission to strategizing a launch plan in the months before publication. My clients have become USA Today Bestsellers, have sold their books to Big 5 publishers and have snagged top-tier agents.
As an editor for 20+ years at prestigious outlets like ForbesWomen and Dow Jones, and an author myself who sold two memoirs to the Big 5, I’ve been on both sides, writing my own books and helping incredible authors tell their stories too. I know what the book marketplace is looking for and how to turn your vision into a book that sells. I’ll shine a light on the black box of the publishing industry and be in the trenches with you every step of the way from concept to launch.
