With over three decades of industry experience, author and principal founder of World Changing Books, Robin Colucci is a guide, mentor, and strategist for thought leaders ready to see their expertise and ideas become a lasting legacy that changes the world. 

Right after completing college, Robin was mentored for three years by New York Times bestselling author, David Wise. This led journalism roles at renowned outlets, and an acquisitions editor position at an indie publishing house where she found her true calling: to guide subject-matter experts and bring their book projects to life. 

With a B.A. in Journalism and an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology, Robin’s credentials are as impressive as her track record. She even penned her own guide, How to Write a Book That Sells YOU, busting myths about the purpose of a book and how to succeed with one.

Drawing inspiration from icons like Maya Angelou, Robin brings more than skill to her work. She offers a heart-centered approach grounded in resilience, kindness, and integrity. To Robin, your book isn’t just ink on paper, it’s a doorway to forever, a chance to change lives and to echo through time.

By assiting clients through book concept development and strategy, book proposal preparation, introductions to literary agents, as well as ghostwriting and technical editing, Robin and her team at World Changing Books have a 100% success rate* helping experts (from emerging voices to CEOs, astronauts, Nobel laureates, and other esteemed professionals) become authors and land over $6-million in advances over the past five years alone, and find their spot on bestsellers lists from Amazon to the New York Times.

Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself

Book, Grand Central Publishing/William W. Li, MDMarch 2019

I was the technical editor and coach who worked with Dr. Li from the earliest musings about this groundbreaking book all the way up through his book proposal, introducing him to his literary agent, Celeste Fine, and guiding him though the writing process, and editing the entire manuscript. 

In his own words: “I’d like to thank my longtime friend and advisor, Robin Colucci, who encouraged me, rather insistently, to translate my knowledge into the pages of a book. She gave me a road map, then served as my coach, copilot, and copyeditor as I set off on the odyssey of writing.”

Dr. Li was a first time author, and the book became a New York Times bestseller, and led to an additional two book deal with Grand Central.

Book 2, Eat to Beat Your Diet, was published in 2023, and also hit the NYT bestsellers list.

We have just begun work on Book 3.

Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me about Our Home Planet--And Our Mission to Protect It

, Seal Press/Nicole StottOctober 2021

When Nicole Stott first came to me for help with her book, I was pleased to learn that she didn't want to write just another astronaut memoir. We conceived Back to Earth as a collection of seven ways of being that enable astronauts from 16 different nations work together in harmony towards a common goal on the International Space Station, and how these same ways of being could be engaged here on Earth to enable us to achieve the shared goal of protecting our home planet.

I am especially proud of this project for the quality of the writing. Nicole and I made a great team in crafting a book that Paul Hawken (New York Times bestselling author of Drawdown) described as, "A brilliant and poignant manual on what it means to live on Earth. Stott's clarity and eloquence might bring you to tears. It should be read aloud to children, assigned in schools, shared with Congress, and placed in Houses of Worship."
