If you’d have told me that Crystal could transform my book writing dream into a reality in only 3-months, I would’ve laughed. But, she’s done it! Word Magic indeed! Now I’m selling out global speaking engagements with my book and known as a voice of change in my Industry. I couldn’t have done it without her.

It works. That’s all I need to say. 90-days to book writing magic. I had this book idea, had no idea how to write it, and definitely didn’t think I could do it in 3-months. And I did! It’ll be on shelves next month!

Are you ready to change that?
For The Fence-sitters & Naysayers
Studies show that only 3% of people who start writing their books ever complete them. And, those who use a Book Coach are far more likely to finish than those who do not.
Just Ask Peter:
Peter spent 5 years+ working on his manuscript, writing, re-writing and getting caught up in the art of creating but never finishing (it’s a writer’s circle you don’t want to be part of). Until, he hired me as his Book Coach. We distilled down the messaging, rearranged the format, and finally wrote the book! What had been years in the making took mere months!
Peter Merret
Crystal has been the highlight of my book writing experience. She has a way of creating that truly feels magical. I looked so forward to our calls, I may need to keep writing books. Just magic!
