One-to-one Coaching

“I would recommend Crystal and Jared’s services unreservedly. They’ve accumulated a wealth of information from personal experience and are passionate about books and publishing. It is easy to make costly mistakes when self-publishing a book for the first time, so I would certainly recommend going over your plan with an expert.” Wendy McKernan, Little Dragon Publishing

Self Publishing & Book Marketing workshops

“I was inspired by the level of professionalism, knowledge, experience and enthusiasm that your team exuded. I am sure that our paths will cross again. Thank you for a fantastic workshop.” Gwen

“This is a wonderful workshop on self-publishing that is intense and packed full of information. It is an excellent teaching/learning tool but come to it well rested and ready to listen and learn…what I found most helpful was learning where I was off the first two times around. The process [of self publishing] seems much more workable now and affordable and far less stressful.” Stephanie

“Even the expert will learn from this workshop. It was comprehensive, engaging, and enlightening. I would highly recommend it.” Kari

They both have lives and other things they could be doing but they took the time to teach us with love and caring. I wish them a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Thank you for being there for me and others.” Gladys

“Just wanted to let you and Jared know how much I enjoyed your workshop. Thank you both for being so patient with a neophyte like me. I’ve never even wanted to think about all that web/blog stuff before. To be honest, it was too overwhelming. I was intimidated. Thanks to you folks, I can see how useful it will be to me.” Doug

Very knowledgeable and friendly. Fantastic workshop. Ask as many questions as you can think of because they have all the answers.” Trevor
