About S. Woodhouse Books
S. Woodhouse Books is a concierge publishing service specializing in high-quality, custom book projects for organizations, founders, families, and individuals with a story worth telling and the vision to tell it right.
Every project is personally directed by Sharon Woodhouse, publisher, strategist, and project architect with 32 years of experience in the publishing industry. Sharon founded Lake Claremont Press in 1994, building it into an award-winning Chicago publishing house that produced 80 titles and more than 500,000 books over 25 years. She knows what a well-made book requires at every stage—from the first strategic conversation to the final printed page and how it makes its mark and does its job out in the world.
In 2011, she founded Everything Goes Media, expanding into consulting, coaching, and strategic publishing projects for authors, publishers, and creative businesses. Through its Conspire Creative division, she has directly coached and counseled hundreds of authors and publishers across six continents on building sustainable businesses around their books. Most recently, she created Storied Hotel Books, an innovative publishing venture pairing original mystery series with luxury and historic hotel partners.
At S. Woodhouse Books, Sharon assembles and manages the right team for each project—writers, editors, designers, photographers, printers—coordinating every moving part so you don’t have to. You bring the vision and the goals. We bring the expertise, the experience, and the strategic thinking to sharpen, expand, or focus that vision into a book that delivers exactly what you need—and often more than you imagined.

Why Work With Us
32 years of publishing experience means we’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and where the boundaries are—and how to push past them. Every project teaches us something new about what a book can be and do, and we bring that knowledge to everything we build.
We know how to:
✅ Ask the strategic questions that prevent expensive mistakes
✅ Manage complex timelines with multiple stakeholders
✅ Assemble and coordinate the right team for your project
✅ Navigate tricky content—what to include, what to leave out, how to handle sensitive topics
✅ Ensure quality while respecting budgets and deadlines
✅ Think beyond the book to how it serves your larger goals
We not only manage book production and publishing—we partner with you to create something that honors your story and serves your vision.
