About Aurora Corialis
Here’s Our Story
You have a story that matters.
You care about craft, meaning, and emotional resonance.
And you’re ready to create a book that truly connects with readers.
Aurora Corialis is a home for storytellers — nonfiction and fiction authors who have something meaningful to say and want to say it well. We work with writers who care about craft, emotional resonance, and the impact their stories can have on real people. Whether you’re writing about lived experience, personal growth, identity, healing, or the human condition, we help you shape your words into a book that feels true to you.
We’re not here for formulaic business books or quick‑fix “authority” projects. We’re here for authors who want to create something lasting — something with heart, clarity, and purpose.
Founded by author and publishing consultant Cori Wamsley, Aurora Corialis blends coaching, editing, and publishing services to support writers through every stage of the process. Since 2021, we’ve helped authors bring beautifully crafted books into the world, from award‑winning nonfiction to emotionally rich fiction.
Our books are professionally produced, thoughtfully edited, and tailored to the author’s voice and vision. We believe stories change people and people change the world.
The backbone to my entire project was Cori. Our coaching sessions were so organized and resulted in us always getting so much accomplished. And she always provided sensible advice when I was struggling for whatever reason.
I would do it again in a heartbeat!

What’s Your Story?
I had a dream, all these thoughts for a book on paper, and then I met Cori. She kept me on track, gave me an outline, and guided me with parameters to make my book Personal Prosperity Blueprint a reality. If you think it’s impossible, Cori will make it possible.
