TESTIMONIALS

What our attendees are saying...

Birth a Book was pivotal in my journey to becoming a #1 AMAZON Best Seller with my book, MINDSET ZONE. Their guidance was indispensable, and my only regret is not opting for their full publishing package...

It would have saved me both time and money. I strongly recommend her expertise to anyone who wishes to improve their skills.

Ana Melikian, Ph.D

Speaker & Executive Coach

Birth a Book was instrumental in my success—from writing and publishing Thyroid Talk a #1 AMAZON Best Seller which continues to expand my impact and career. Their team's support propelled me to new heights, earning me invitations to summits and enabling me to create profitable courses. Thanks to them, my services and revenue have grown tremendously.

Dr. Angela Mazza

Endocrinologist

This training exceeded my expectations! Bringing the concept of Ikagai into book writing was brilliant and so helpful. I very much appreciated the mind mapping, outline and performance workshops. I am so much clearer on how to write and publish a book - thanks to the Birth a Book Blueprint. I would 100% recommend this retreat to anyone thinking of writing a book.

Mary Patry

Business Executive Trainer

Oh my goodness! I discovered so many gems from the teachers. From Clementina's "No One Writes Alone" and "Living Outline's Reframe," to Jessy's "Puncuate to Amplify the Intention," to Dorothy's "Make Your Case," "Magic & Mundane Strategy." All of you are such an inspirational and dynamic energy experience. I recommend this event 100%.
