Hi, I'm Claire Dwyer - wife, mother, author.
I’m a full-time work-from-home Catholic wife and mom of six who somehow also finds time for what she loves: words.
I’m an avid reader, speaker, writer, and author of the best-selling This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, published by Sophia Institute Press, and I'm currently under contract for a second book.
I’m also a certified copywriter and developmental editor with a clear sense of how words work on a page to be memorable and move readers.
After years of being asked, how do I write a book? I realized that the storyteller in all of us sometimes needs help in going from a swirl of ideas to a published work.
And I knew I could help—I’m not only a writer, I’m a spiritual director, mentor, and empathetic listener who knows how to draw out your stories and find the common (and sometimes broken) threads, weaving them into something beautiful.
I’m a natural teacher who can show you how to read like a writer and recognize mastery so that you can create your own written work of art. I’ll point out the necessary elements of the best kind of books, what makes a compelling story, and how to structure your own story—all within the unique worldview that sets Catholic literature apart.
You have a story—and yet somehow you know that ultimately, it’s not about you. It’s a Christ-centered story set in the center of salvation history.
Let’s get it out into the waiting world.
I’ve been working on a book about my dad’s Divine Mercy miracle for over 10 years now, and it never seemed to get anywhere. I put in hundreds of hours of effort and paid thousands of dollars to an editor, but that was not enough to overcome my basic lack of knowledge about how to write the book.
When I providentially saw an IG ad for Claire Dwyer’s MWM course, I realized that her insight and experience were exactly what I needed to get the job done. I had never even thought of my story in the category of “memoir with a message,”but Claire articulated exactly what it was trying to do! Not only that, she provided a framework and outline for how to tell my story in a concise and compelling way. I thank God for putting her in my life, and I look forward to finally publishing my book this year. Hallelujah! If this is what you are trying to do, don’t even hesitate to sign up. You won’t regret it.

Claire has a real gift for helping writers curate content and having her guidance and direction on my first book was amazing. She was a joy to work with and is an absolute genius at bringing the words to life. Claire brilliantly, patiently, gently—and quickly!—guided me to publication.

The Memoir with a Message course connected me with other hopeful writers with a unique mission - to share our story and invite others to a closer relationship with God. I learned timeline strategies, storytelling techniques, and how to overcome being 'stuck'. I would absolutely recommend this course to a friend.

Hi, I'm Mike Fontecchio - graphic designer, print production specialist and seasoned veteran in the Catholic Publishing Industry.
Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve had the blessing of working with some of the finest Catholic editors, authors, designers and print organizations in the world. I’ve also been fortunate to provide freelance design services through my company, Faith & Family Publications, for several Catholic publishers, mission driven organizations, and through Reedsy, the premiere service marketplace for authors.
I particularly enjoy helping first-time and seasoned authors like yourself navigate the world of publishing, so that your stories can make it out into the world and inspire others. And while it’s true that there’s never been a time in history when self-publishing is as affordable and accessible as it is today, having the right guide to walk alongside you can make all the difference.
I look forward to going on this journey with you.
Â
Mike is exceptional at bringing manuscripts to life through his giftedness for layout and design, his passion for walking alongside authors through the many decisions of self-publishing, and his decades of experience in the publishing industry.
Mike hit our tight deadlines while keeping the quality of work exceptional, and to share his thoughtful insights that made our book even more impactful - all while helping us make our creative vision a reality that was far beyond what we had originally imagined!
My coauthor and I wholeheartedly recommend Mike to any Catholic author who is looking to self-publish and we are incredibly grateful for Mike’s impactful role in the publication of “Sacred Wounds.”Â

Self-publishing a book was beyond my purview, but Mike provided the know-how.
An excellent communicator, he answered all my questions and moved the publishing process along at a steady rate. Mike is a kind and caring professional.

Being introduced to Mike was the most pleasant part in completing my book, The Power of a Rose.Â
I was incredibly grateful for his patience in guiding me through the entire process and his rapid response time on all requests. He offered the highest quality of work and I could not be happier with the beautiful lay out of my book. I get compliments often from my readers.
Most importantly to me, Mike is a man of great integrity, fairness, and kindness. He is a true Christ-like professional.Â
