About
Carol Ann DeSimine
Your Trusted Partner in Publishing
I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would end up helping other women achieve their dream of publishing a thought leader book. Yet here I am.
Call it destiny, a calling, my soul’s purpose…it’s all that and more.
What led me back to here was a long road of twists and turns, joys and challenges, and lots of opportunities and adventures along the way.
Collectively, it’s called wisdom.

Timeline & Experience
I taught publishing classes for 10 years as an adjunct professor at Rowan University.
I cut my publishing teeth while working for an international educational organization.
I am an award-winning editor, photographer, and designer.
I hold an M.A. in Public Relations, which is all about writing and image, and a B.A. in Communication where my focus was publishing and photography.
As a branding, business and book coach, I've created proprietary systems - a 90-day book plan, brand plan, and 30 day content creation plan to name a few
I developed a 'concept to completion' book-writing process which I follow every time I write my own book.
I've got the business background, but it always leads back to books, writing and publishing.
When I started working with Carol Ann I was looking at a pile of loose ends and needed some clarity as to how to bring it all together into a beautiful presentation to the world.
Carol Ann asked all the right questions about the decisions I needed to make. She heard my heart’s call and was able to keep it within all my offerings and how I spoke about them.
I am now super clear about who my people are and how to reach them, what problems they have and the golden nuggets they are craving.
Carol Ann helped me name my year-long program; she nailed it: The Angels of Abundance Ascension Academy captures exactly what I do.
What I liked about working with Carol Ann is her honesty and her no-fuss approach. She is very clear with her spoken words and she is great with the written word. Her wealth of knowledge about an online business is extremely helpful…
And, I’m happy to say that during our time together, I was back to making 6 figures for the first time in years…
I would recommend working with Carol Ann if you are looking for clarity and simplicity. She will pare the pile of loose ends down to a beautiful simple idea that fits you perfectly and people will buy it.
