Mike Chapp

Mike Chapp writes practical, no-nonsense guides for the moments in life that don't come with an instruction manual - from guiding a job interview to navigating the first months of fatherhood, to finally learning how to say no without the guilt.

Drawing on real-world experience rather than theory, Mike's books are built to be used: clear, actionable, and free of jargon. In Ace the Interview, he walks readers through exactly how to prepare for a high-stakes interview. In Debut Dad, he helps new fathers find their footing in those disorienting first months. And in You Can Say No, he tackles one of the hardest skills of all: setting boundaries, protecting your time, and speaking up without over-explaining yourself. Whatever the subject, his aim is always the same - to hand readers something they can put into practice immediately, not just something to read.

When he's not writing, Mike can usually be found somewhere between a guitar, a hiking trail, and of course his family. He believes good advice should be honest, occasionally funny, and never longer than it needs to be.

Mike lives by the philosophy that most of life's biggest challenges are really just a series of small, learnable skills, and he's made it his job to write the manuals nobody else got around to.
