Meet Your Book Coach and Ghostwriter

Hey there, I’m Dalene – a Jesus-loving book coach and founder of Lasting Legacies Publishing.

I’ve worked in the self-publishing industry for 29 years, during which time I’ve written and published more than a dozen nonfiction books for clients (and myself).

What started out as a way to help retirees privately publish their life stories expanded in 2021 when the Lord called me to also serve Christian writers.

I believe God is calling writers just like you – writers of all ages, races, and nationalities. Writers who are willing to create quality nonfiction books that offer the light, hope, and truth of Christ to a weary and waiting world.

Books that make a true impact and leave a lasting legacy.

Maybe that resonates with you. Maybe you feel led to write a faith-based business or how-to book, memoir, devotional, or Bible study.

But as a busy business owner, parent of littles, family caregiver (or a combo of all three), your dream of becoming an author might seem out of reach right now.

The reality is that God has given you a message to share right now for a reason.

I’m here to help you develop a publishing plan, write your manuscript, self-publish your book, and sell more copies no matter how much – or little- time you have.

Schedule a 1:1 Book Coaching session to:

↪ Replace distraction with productive action,

↪ Learn a clear step-by-step process, and

↪ Communicate your message in a way that attracts readers.

What Clients Are Saying ...

Dalene Bickel and Richard G. Morrison

Thank you for all you have done to help me during the many months we have worked together to write three meaningful books. I truly admire your work ethic, your writing partnership style, and your strong positive and moral standards.

Dr. Richard G. Morrison, Ph.D.

I was fortunate to find a talented ‘partner in crime’ in Dalene Bickel, who has collected all my intellectual meanderings, interviewed me extensively, and put together my autobiography.

Dr. Jose V. “Zito” Sartarelli, PhD

I'm just over the moon with your work, Dalene! This book is better than I even imagined. Thank you for your responsiveness and for leading me through the self-publishing process.

Mary-Kathryn Moore

Leave a lasting legacy by documenting your wisdom, experience, and effective strategies for future generations.
Fund a mission by donating a portion of your book’s proceeds to your favorite charity or non-profit organization.
