About Derek Lewis

I love reading great business books- but I love helping authors create them even more.

From Economics to Entrepreneurship

My passion for business books started in high school when a Brazilian missionary lent me his tattered copy of Quest for the Best by Stanley Marcus. While my friends read fiction or played video games,...

…I immersed myself in books on economics, entrepreneurs, and business titans. This led me to pursue:

  • A degree in economics
  • A master’s in economic development, where I researched microfinance through fieldwork with Dominican loan sharks

Real-World Business & Consulting Experience

After grad school, I gained hands-on experience managing and consulting for businesses and nonprofits:

  • Trained micro-entrepreneurs through an economic development organization
  • Led a program that sheltered and supported teen mothers and their children
  • Served as an in-house consultant for a $30M family business, launching new projects and managing a $2M company during a leadership crisis

The Leap Into Writing & Publishing

I co-founded an IT company—only to realize I wasn’t an IT guy. After stepping away, the company thrived. Meanwhile, I started a copywriting side hustle, which soon became my full-time profession.

A Dream Career in Business Book Writing

One day, I met someone who wanted to write a business book. That moment changed everything. Over the past decade, I have:

  • Worked with top business leaders and publishing professionals worldwide
  • Trained ghostwriters from Argentina to Italy, helping them integrate entrepreneurship into their writing

Now, my mission is clear: help business authors share their expertise with the world.

Ready to bring your business book to life? Let’s make it happen!
