A Journey of Courage and Faith
Rev. Emilio Roman is more than a pastor, veteran, and entrepreneur—he is a living testament to the power of faith, resilience, and purpose. A devoted USMC veteran, Emilio has faced trials, challenges, and victories with unwavering courage, grounding his life in the Catholic faith. His journey has encompassed profound highs and deep lows, yet through it all, he has remained steadfast in his mission to empower others.
The Birth of Co-Author Network LLC
Emilio’s passion for storytelling and mentoring Christian leaders culminated in the creation of Co-Author Network LLC, proudly recognized as the Fastest-Growing Christian Authors Network. His mission is simple yet powerful: to help Christian authors monetize their stories, transforming personal testimony into influence, impact, and lasting legacy.
Based in New Jersey, this veteran-owned and operated publishing company has become a beacon for faith-driven authors worldwide. Over the years, Emilio and his team have interviewed more than 3,000 authors—from Holocaust survivors and veterans to overcomers of domestic violence and faith leaders sharing messages of hope.
“We don’t accept everyone,” Emilio explains, emphasizing alignment and purpose. “We’re Christian operated, and we do it with a mission.” This selective approach ensures that every story supported by Co-Author Network resonates with authenticity, impact, and intention.
A Revolutionary Approach to Authorship
Emilio has pioneered a unique methodology for authors that challenges traditional norms. Rather than writing a book first, he instructs clients to “stop writing” and focus on whether their story meets a market need. Using mock books, authors visualize the final product, refining their message and purpose before committing to print.
Through presales, authors can even generate income before the book is completed—a revolutionary approach that saves years of struggle and prevents exploitation. “My book is going to save you three to five years of pain and suffering,” Emilio explains. This strategy allows authors to enter the marketplace with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Through his network, Emilio has helped publish over 500 books, launched movements such as Behind Closed Doors, Spiritual Fitness Survivor, and Born to Risk, and empowered community leaders to share their stories with global audiences.
At the heart of Emilio’s philosophy are the three I’s: Influence, Impact, and Income. He teaches that true authority comes from authorship—when you publish your story, you gain influence, create meaningful impact, and naturally generate income.
Rev. Emilio Roman is also a Guinness World Record holder, recognized for his exceptional achievements in publishing and author collaboration. This accolade highlights his unparalleled dedication to empowering others to tell their stories and make an impact through books and speaking platforms.
A Voice of Courage, Now on the Air
Emilio is a rising voice on SOS, set to bring his message of faith, resilience, and transformation to the airwaves with his new show, Born to Risk, airing soon on Sundays at 12 pm EST on SOS Radio Live. Through this platform, he extends his mission beyond the page, guiding listeners through stories of courage, faith, and personal transformation. The SOS ecosystem—spanning radio, podcast, and multimedia—allows Emilio’s show to inspire a global audience, connecting them with practical strategies, spiritual insights, and uplifting narratives that reflect the core values of SOS, amplifying authentic voices and cultivating a community where influence, impact, and purpose converge.
Legacy, Redemption, and the Love of God
Emilio’s work is more than publishing; it is a ministry of legacy. He encourages storytellers to share their experiences, cautioning that “if you don’t tell it, someone else will.” By doing so, authors preserve truth, inspire change, and leave a lasting mark on the world.
Despite the challenges he has faced, Emilio remains proud of his unwavering enthusiasm and his ability to see the good in people. He embodies the values of the SOS family—authenticity, courage, and generosity—and dedicates his life to uplifting others.
