"Empowering Authors, Elevating Voices, Building Legacies"
I first met Michael through Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity during a rush event last fall, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. Michael is not only a dedicated brother but also an incredible author whose achievements I truly admire. When I shared my own dream of writing a book with him, he was incredibly supportive and enthusiastic. Michael went above and beyond—offering his guidance and even helping me refine my manuscript with titles and formatting. I was absolutely amazed by how much he contributed and how willing he was to help. He has become not just a mentor, but also a friend and role model. I’m so grateful to have him in my corner, and I look forward to continuing this journey together.

My experience working with Michael has truly felt like divine alignment. After experiencing what I thought was a loss, he helped me find my voice again and continue building my legacy. Now I not only share my story, but I also have the hope of being a beacon of light to others as they create their own legacies. Michael has a true gift, and I deeply appreciate the guidance and support he has given. Thank you, Michael!

Working with Dr. Michael Copeland on publishing my first book has been a pleasure. From beginning to end, Doc walked me through the entire process. What’s funny is that I later found out we had history—we graduated from the same college! I truly believe God ordained that connection.
With other companies, it seemed like they were only concerned about the money. The company I worked with before didn’t even give me a deadline. But with Dr. Copeland, we created a clear plan. He would call or text to check on my progress and made me feel that both I and my book truly mattered. After the completion of my book, Dr. Copeland was the first person to purchase it. That made me feel proud and valued. I highly recommend Copeland Consults LLC to everyone.
