We’re honoured to recognize Mattie Murrey Tegels, professional ghostwriter, editor, book coach, and founder of My Own Ghostwriter, as the Elite Diamond Sponsor of the Dare to Declare™ Conference.

Mattie is known for helping people write their brave new chapters both on the page and in life. As a Certified Dare to Declare™ Vision Board Trainer, she brings a unique blend of clarity, creativity, and compassion to every writer she serves. She partners with entrepreneurs, executives, and changemakers to turn bold ideas into beautifully written, high-impact books that elevate their message far beyond the page.

Guided by her motto, “Friends don’t let friends write bad books,” Mattie created her signature 5-Step Writing System, a practical, supportive framework that helps authors strategize, structure, write, edit, and prepare to publish with confidence. Her process removes overwhelm, brings order to the creative chaos, and ensures writers feel supported at every stage.

Her teachings, centered around themes like “Stand Out or Stay Invisible” and “Write Your Life”, empower leaders to discover what makes them unforgettable as storytellers. Through her writing programs, her Author Vision Board workshops, and her monthly Facebook mastermind The Author’s Table, Mattie provides accountability, community, and expert guidance for writers committed to bringing their stories to life.

Her commitment to clarity, courage, and meaningful storytelling reflects the very heart of Dare to Declare™. We’re proud to partner with Mattie as our Elite Diamond Sponsor and to celebrate a leader who champions authors to write their most powerful, transformative work.
