Taryn Lee Johnston

Taryn Lee Johnston is a publishing strategist, ghostwriter, and AI-savvy speaker who helps business owners turn their expertise into powerful, well-positioned books. With 15 years in marketing and publishing, she knows that a book isn’t just a vanity project. It’s a business asset. She speaks on how founders can use their story to stand out in crowded markets, build trust, and create real commercial impact.

She also brings sharp insight into how AI is changing the publishing space, for better and worse. Her talks help entrepreneurs avoid the trap of generic, soulless content, and instead use AI as a tool to amplify their voice, not replace it.

Clear, straight-talking, and unapologetically practical, she doesn’t talk in hype. She talks in results.

As co-founder of Novo Books, she’s leading the charge in integrating AI in a way that supports human storytelling, using it to streamline process, not replace voice. She speaks honestly and practically about how AI is changing the publishing industry, and how business owners can use it to their advantage without sacrificing quality or credibility.

Topic: Once upon a love story
What is it that you love? What drives you to spend all of your waking hours trying to make right? What have you learned and what can you share? I’ll tell you of my passion for books and my journey in discovering the importance of stories. How by sharing what we know gives knowledge to the future and helps us retain the lessons of the past. I hope to encourage you, the audience, to tell your own stories, be they business or personal, in a way that helps others to learn. At a time when so much information is available, it is important to understand both its intrinsic value and how far we've come in making it accessible.
